STarFish: A Stacked Ensemble Target Fishing Approach and its Application to Natural Products

Journal of Chemical Information and Modeling, 2019
Target fishing is the process of identifying the protein target of a bioactive small molecule. To do so experimentally requires a significant investment of time and resources, which can be expedited with a reliable computational target fishing model. The

The Keystone‐Pathogen Hypothesis Updated: The Role of Porphyromonas gingivalis in Periodontitis

Journal of Periodontal Research, EarlyView.
Porphyromonas gingivalis orchestrates a coordinated manipulation of immune and inflammatory responses in periodontal tissues which leads to the generation of a dysbiotic, subgingival biofilm community, and progression of periodontitis. The type 9 secretion system, lipid A modification, and the formation of outer membrane vesicles are important ...

In Search of the Role of Three-Finger Starfish Proteins

Marine Drugs
Three-finger proteins (TFPs), or Ly6/uPAR proteins, are characterized by the beta-structural LU domain containing three protruding “fingers” and stabilized by four conserved disulfide bonds.

The Distribution of Asterosaponins, Polyhydroxysteroids and Related Glycosides in Different Body Components of the Far Eastern Starfish Lethasterias fusca

Marine Drugs, 2019
Glycoconjugated and other polar steroids of starfish have unique chemical structures and show a broad spectrum of biological activities. However, their biological functions remain not well established. Possible biological roles of these metabolites might

Culling crown-of-thorns starfish (Acanthaster cf. solaris) on Australia's Great Barrier Reef: rationale and effectiveness.

Australian Zoologist, 2019
Outbreaks of the Pacific Crown-of-thorns Starfish Acanthaster cf. solaris are a major contributor to the sustained loss of coral, and the long-term degradation of Australia's Great Barrier...

Crafting the Ocean: The Geographies of Environmental World‐Making

Transactions of the Institute of British Geographers, EarlyView.
Short Abstract The paper departs from existing analyses of ‘world making’, bringing cultural and environmental geographies into further conversation through linking theories of crafting and world‐making together, through the lens of the contemporary aquarium and nascent oceanic geographies.

Economic profile of Florida's marine life industry [PDF]

, 2001
The marine life industry in Florida is defined as the harvest of live marine specimens (fish and invertebrate species including plants, live rock and sand, and small “critters”) for commercial use, primarily aquariums.

Histiocytes: Multifaceted Regulators of Health and Disease

Veterinary Clinical Pathology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The mononuclear phagocyte system encompasses macrophages, dendritic cells (DCs), and monocytes. Tissue‐resident macrophages and dendritic cells arise during embryogenesis and are replenished either through self‐renewal or by monocytes during inflammation.

Cytoplasmic flows in starfish oocytes are fully determined by cortical contractions

PLoS Comput. Biol., 2018
Cytoplasmic flows are an ubiquitous feature of biological systems, in particular in large cells, such as oocytes and eggs in early animal development.
