Nmes1 is a novel regulator of mucosal response influencing intestinal healing potential
Nmes1 is a novel regulator of intestinal inflammation. In two models of intestinal inflammation, each characterized by a type 2‐dominated environment with contrasting functions, Nmes1 in CX3CR1+ macrophages promotes healing during the remission phase of dextran sodium sulfate‐induced colitis while preventing parasitic egg clearance and inducing ...

The influence of hydrocortisone on cellular defence mechanisms of Biomphalaria glabrata [PDF]
Since the internal defense system of mollusks consists of cellular and humoral mechanisms, we examined the role of hydrocortisone in mollusks defense cells and the influence of this steroid on the development of Schistosoma mansoni in its intermediary host.

Strain variation in the infectivity of Schistosoma mansoni for Biomphalaria glabrata [PDF]
