Indirect genetic effects and sexual conflicts: partner genotype influences multiple morphological and behavioural reproductive traits in a flatworm [PDF]
, 2017 The expression of an individual's phenotypic traits can be influenced by genes expressed in its social partners. Theoretical models predict that such indirect genetic effects (IGEs) on reproductive traits should play an important role in determining the ...

Substrate for Thyroid Hormone Synthesis: Biochemistry, Evolution, and Physiology
The FASEB Journal, Volume 40, Issue 8, 30 April 2026.Two proposed sequence of events for thyroxine formation in patients expressing mutant thyroglobulin. (A) (1) TSH stimulation drives expression of misfolded TG. (2) Unremitting ER stress. (3) Stress‐induced cell death. (4) Dead thyrocytes release their contents. (5) The contents become iodinated. (6) Forming thyroxine.

PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases, 2009 BackgroundApproximately 200 million people worldwide harbour parasitic flatworm infections that cause schistosomiasis. A single drug-praziquantel (PZQ)-has served as the mainstay pharmacotherapy for schistosome infections since the 1980s.

Classical transmitters and their receptors in flatworms
Parasitology, 2005 The flatworm nervous system employs a wide repertoire of neuroactive substances, including small chemical messengers, the so called classical transmitters, and several types of neuropeptides. A large body of research accumulated over four decades has provided a wealth of information on the tissue localization and effects of these substances, their ...

Conservation and diversification of small RNA pathways within flatworms
BMC Evolutionary Biology, 2017 Background Small non-coding RNAs, including miRNAs, and gene silencing mediated by RNA interference have been described in free-living and parasitic lineages of flatworms, but only few key factors of the small RNA pathways have been exhaustively ...

Neuropeptide signalling systems in flatworms
Parasitology, 2005 Two distinct families of neuropeptides are known to endow platyhelminth nervous systems – the FMRFamide-like peptides (FLPs) and the neuropeptide Fs (NPFs). Flatworm FLPs are structurally simple, each 4–6 amino acids in length with a carboxy terminal aromatic-hydrophobic-Arg-Phe-amide motif. Thus far, four distinct flatworm FLPs have been characterized,
