A tiny molecule called bombesin links starfish and humans in appetite control, revealing a surprising evolutionary connection.

This sped-up video (60x speed) shows the fascinating effect of ArBN on the common starfish (Asterias rubens). While ArBN ...

By analysing the genomes of invertebrate animals, they discovered genes encoding bombesin-like neurohormones in the common starfish (Asterias rubens) and other echinoderms, such as sea urchins and sea ...

A team of biologists at Queen Mary University of London has discovered that a neurohormone controlling appetite in humans has an ancient evolutionary origin, dating back over half a billion years.

This sped-up video (60x speed) shows the fascinating effect of ArBN on the common starfish (Asterias rubens). While ArBN doesn’t cause complete stomach retraction - it’s about 50% after 6 minutes.
