Is there a molecular axis hidden under all this weird anatomy and what is its role in a starfish forming a pentaradial body plan?" To figure it out, they used a new form of genetic sequencing ...

Is there a molecular axis hidden under all this weird anatomy and what is its role in a starfish forming a pentaradial body plan?” Together, the data created a 3D map to determine where genes ...

This at least is the conclusion of a landmark recent paper in the journal Nature, which solved a lingering puzzle about starfish anatomy by turning to the enigmatic echinoderm's genes. Echinoderms ...

starfish seem to be all limbs, with five appendages lined with rows of tube feet giving them their signature shape. Marine scientists have long wondered how they evolved to have such anatomy—and ...

What have you got for us? BARBER: How about the weird anatomy of starfish? SHAPIRO: Cool. SCOTT: And staying up all night can ease depression - in mice. SHAPIRO: Fun. BARBER: And a record low for ...

Starfish (sea stars) belong to a group of animals called echinoderms. Echinoderms and humans are closely related, yet the life cycle and anatomy of sea stars are very different from ours.

Researchers mapped starfish genes to solve the mystery ... "For a very long time, we just had access to anatomy and morphology. And they're not very helpful when you look at a sea star," Formery ...

Recent studies have unveiled astonishing facts about these creatures, challenging our traditional understanding of their anatomy and evolution. Contrary to previous beliefs, starfish are ...

While ArSK/CCK1 proved to be the most effective chemical trigger for autotomy, its activity in the autotomy plane depends on certain aspects of a starfish’s anatomy. Like all echinoderms ...
