Curr Biol
. 2024 Aug;
34(18):4325-4331.e3.
PMID: 39214089
One of the most remarkable adaptations to survive attacks from predators is to detach an appendage-a process known as autotomy. This occurs in a variety of animals, including lizards (tail),...

PMID: 38289190
Reproductive processes are regulated by a variety of neuropeptides in vertebrates and invertebrates. In starfish (phylum Echinodermata), relaxin-like gonad-stimulating peptide triggers oocyte maturation and spawning. However, little is known about...

PMID: 37212624
Oocyte maturation and gamete release (spawning) in starfish are triggered by relaxin-like gonad-stimulating peptide (RGP), a neuropeptide that was first isolated from the radial nerve cords of these animals. Hitherto,...

Structure and proteomic analysis of the crown-of-thorns starfish (Acanthaster sp.) radial nerve cord
Smith M, Rotgans B, Lang T, Johnston R, Wang T, Suwansa-Ard S, et al.
Sci Rep
. 2023 Feb;
13(1):3349.
PMID: 36849815
The nervous system of the Asteroidea (starfish or seastar) consists of radial nerve cords (RNCs) that interconnect with a ring nerve. Despite its relative simplicity, it facilitates the movement of...

PMID: 36653662
Neuropeptides derived from larger precursor proteins are secreted as signalling molecules by neurons and regulate diverse physiological and behavioural processes in animals. Recently, we reported the discovery of ArCRZ (HNTFTMGGQNRWKAG-NH)...

PMID: 36583101
Neuropeptides are one of the largest and most diverse families of signaling molecules in animals and, accordingly, they regulate many physiological processes and behaviors. Genome and transcriptome sequencing has enabled...

PMID: 35145030
Somatostatin (SS) and allatostatin-C (ASTC) are inhibitory neuropeptides in chordates and protostomes, respectively, which hitherto were identified as orthologs. However, echinoderms have two SS/ASTC-type neuropeptides (SS1 and SS2), and here,...

PMID: 34488941
Sulfakinin (SK)/cholecystokinin (CCK)-type neuropeptides regulate feeding and digestion in protostomes (e.g. insects) and chordates. Here, we characterised SK/CCK-type signalling for the first time in a non-chordate deuterostome - the starfish...

PMID: 33965952
Background: Corticotropin-releasing hormone (CRH) mediates physiological responses to stressors in mammals by triggering pituitary secretion of adrenocorticotropic hormone, which stimulates adrenal release of cortisol. CRH belongs to a family of...
