Starfish-Inspired Diamond-Structured Calcite Single Crystals from a Bottom-up Approach as Mechanical Metamaterials

, 2023
Inspired by knobby starfish, this work demonstrates a bottom-up approach for fabricating a calcite single-crystal (CSC) with a diamond structure by exploiting the self-assembly of the block copolymer and corresponding templated synthesis.

Unusual Steroid Constituents from the Tropical Starfish sp

Natural Product Communications, 2016
Two polar steroid compounds, taurochenodeoxycholic acid sodium salt (1) and a rare cyclic steroid glycoside luzonicoside A (2), were isolated from the tropical starfish Leiaster sp. and identified by extensive NMR and ESIMS techniques.

The Role of Maternal Nutrition on Oocyte Size and Quality, with Respect to Early Larval Development in The Coral-Eating Starfish, Acanthaster planci. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2016
Variation in local environmental conditions can have pronounced effects on the population structure and dynamics of marine organisms. Previous studies on crown-of-thorns starfish, Acanthaster planci, have primarily focused on effects of water quality and

Extraction, Characterization and Osteogenic Activity of a Type I Collagen from Starfish (Asterias amurensis)

Marine Drugs, 2023
Outbreaks of starfish (Asterias amurensis) pose a major threat to aquaculture and marine ecosystems in Qingdao, China, and no effective methods have been found to control them. A comprehensive study of collagen in starfish could be an alternative to high

Starfish Gonadotropic Hormone: From Gamete-Shedding Substance to Relaxin-Like Gonad-Stimulating Peptide

Frontiers in Endocrinology, 2019
The first report of a gonadotropic substance in an invertebrate hot-water extract of radial nerve cords from starfish Asterias forbesi that induced the shedding of gametes when injected into the coelomic cavity in a ripe individual occurred in 1959.
