Crown-of-thorns starfish [PDF]
Current Biology, 2013 Why ‘crown-of-thorns’? The crown-of-thorns starfish is nearly the largest species of starfish (Asteroidea). It may be 50 cm or more in diameter and can have more than 15 arms. Its ‘crown-of-thorns’ are the long sharp spines that cover its upper surface. What is more, the spines are coated with a saponin toxin, which causes irritation to puncture wounds

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.

Reviews in Aquaculture, Volume 18, Issue 3, June 2026.ABSTRACT Marine aquaculture is expanding globally, yet its interactions with surrounding ecosystems remain complex and insufficiently understood. This study reviews the fluxes of energy and nutrients from three major aquaculture systems: finfish cages, suspended bivalves, and seaweed farms and considers their implications for ecosystem functioning and ...

Recycling of Uridylated mRNAs in Starfish Embryos
BiomoleculesIn eukaryotes, mRNAs with long poly(A) tails are translationally active, but deadenylation and uridylation of these tails generally cause mRNA degradation. However, the fate of uridylated mRNAs that are not degraded quickly remains obscure.

Substrate for Thyroid Hormone Synthesis: Biochemistry, Evolution, and Physiology
The FASEB Journal, Volume 40, Issue 8, 30 April 2026.Two proposed sequence of events for thyroxine formation in patients expressing mutant thyroglobulin. (A) (1) TSH stimulation drives expression of misfolded TG. (2) Unremitting ER stress. (3) Stress‐induced cell death. (4) Dead thyrocytes release their contents. (5) The contents become iodinated. (6) Forming thyroxine.

Specification of cell fate in the sea urchin embryo: summary and some proposed mechanisms [PDF]
, 1998 An early set of blastomere specifications occurs during cleavage in the sea urchin embryo, the result of both conditional and autonomous processes, as proposed in the model for this embryo set forth in 1989.
