A contribution to the pathobiology of Biomphalaria glabrata hemocytes [PDF]
Memórias do Instituto Oswaldo Cruz, 2006 This study attempts to investigate the relationship between the hemocytes in the two compartments: circulating peripheral lymph and the connective tissues. The hemocytes are compared with the vertebrate macrophages and constitute the principal line of defense against external aggression.

Bsep/Abcb11 knockout ameliorates Schistosoma mansoni liver pathology by reducing parasite fecundity
Liver International, Volume 43, Issue 11, Page 2469-2478, November 2023., 2023 Abstract Background and Aims Schistosoma mansoni infection is one of the worldwide leading causes of liver fibrosis and portal hypertension. The objective of this study was to evaluate whether polyhydroxylated bile acids (BAs), known to protect mice from the development of acquired cholestatic liver injury, counteract S.

The FASEB Journal, Volume 37, Issue 10, October 2023., 2023 The research conducted by Zhang et al. investigated the protective function of LIN‐24, a Caenorhabditis elegans homolog of bacterial pore‐forming toxin, in defending against microbial infections. Knockdown and overexpression of LIN‐24 resulted in changes in gene expression related to immune and defense response. Infection with Pseudomonas aeruginosa 14
