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.

The Evolution and Diversity of SALMFamide Neuropeptides [PDF]

, 2013
The SALMFamides are a family of neuropeptides that act as muscle relaxants in echinoderms. Two types of SALMFamides have been identified: L-type (e.g.

Morphogenesis of starfish polymersomes

Nature Communications, 2023
AbstractThe enhanced membrane stability and chemical versatility of polymeric vesicles have made them promising tools in micro/nanoreactors, drug delivery, cell mimicking, etc. However, shape control over polymersomes remains a challenge and has restricted their full potential.

Discovery of a novel neurophysin-associated neuropeptide that triggers cardiac stomach contraction and retraction in starfish [PDF]

, 2013
Feeding in starfish is a remarkable process in which the cardiac stomach is everted over prey and then retracted when prey tissue has been resorbed. Previous studies have revealed that SALMFamide-type neuropeptides trigger cardiac stomach relaxation and ...

Culling corallivores improves short-term coral recovery under bleaching scenarios

Nature Communications, 2022
This study uses multispecies modelling to show that the management of a coral predator, the crown-of-thorns starfish, could help corals recover following bleaching events.

Bioactivity and structural properties of chimeric analogs of the starfish SALMFamide neuropeptides S1 and S2 [PDF]

, 2014
The starfish SALMFamide neuropeptides S1 (GFNSALMFamide) and S2 (SGPYSFNSGLTFamide) are the prototypical members of a family of neuropeptides that act as muscle relaxants in echinoderms.
