Evidence of novel type of ribosome in eukaryotic intermediate flatworm [PDF]

, 2008
In all organisms, messenger-directed protein synthesis is catalyzed by ribonucleoprotein particles called ribosomes. A ribosome is typically composed of one small and one large subunit which contain one short (18S) and one long (28S) rRNAs, respectively.

Dual functions of Macpiwi1 in transposon silencing and stem cell maintenance in the flatworm Macrostomum lignano [PDF]

, 2015
PIWI proteins and piRNA pathways are essential for transposon silencing and some aspects of gene regulation during animal germline development. In contrast to most animal species, some flatworms also express PIWIs and piRNAs in somatic stem cells, where ...

ParaHox Genes Revisited: From Gut Patterning to Integrated Axial and Neural Organization in Rotifera

Journal of Experimental Zoology Part B: Molecular and Developmental Evolution, Volume 346, Issue 4, Page 357-369, June 2026.
In rotifers, ParaHox genes show a dispersed genomic organization, with Xlox absent across gnathiferans. Exclusive neuronal expression of Gsx and Cdx reveals that ancestral ParaHox genes coordinated neural and epithelial development beyond gut patterning, suggesting an integrated role in early bilaterian body plan organization.

Transcriptional signatures of somatic neoblasts and germline cells in Macrostomum lignano

eLife, 2016
The regeneration-capable flatworm Macrostomum lignano is a powerful model organism to study the biology of stem cells in vivo. As a flatworm amenable to transgenesis, it complements the historically used planarian flatworm models, such as Schmidtea ...

First report of the exotic blue land planarian, Caenoplana coerulea (Platyhelminthes, Geoplanidae), on Menorca (Balearic Islands, Spain) [PDF]

, 2012
In April 2009 two specimens of a terrestrial flatworm were collected from under a rock in an orchard at Ciutadella de Menorca on the easternmost Balearic island of Menorca (Spain).

Aosta Valley animal cancer registry: A collaborative initiative for monitoring cancer burden in animals

Veterinary Record Open, Volume 13, Issue 1, June 2026.
Abstract Background Animal cancer registry data are important for monitoring animal health, for prevention and research in veterinary medicine, and for comparative oncology. Since people and animals share the same environment and are exposed to many common risk factors, cancer patterns in animals may have a sentinel function for human health.

Comparative pharmacology of flatworm and roundworm glutamate-gated chloride channels: Implications for potential anthelmintics

International Journal for Parasitology: Drugs and Drug Resistance, 2014
Pharmacological targeting of glutamate-gated chloride channels (GluCls) is a potent anthelmintic strategy, evidenced by macrocyclic lactones that eliminate numerous roundworm infections by activating roundworm GluCls.

Scaling and regeneration of self-organized patterns [PDF]

, 2015
Biological patterns generated during development and regeneration often scale with organism size. Some organisms, e.g., flatworms, can regenerate a rescaled body plan from tissue fragments of varying sizes.

Zoonotic risks in urban areas: Prevalence of helminth parasites in urban populations of Lissachatina fulica in Sarawak, Malaysia

Veterinary Record Open, Volume 13, Issue 1, June 2026.
Abstract Background The giant African land snail (Lissachatina fulica), an invasive species with significant medical, agricultural and economic importance, is abundant in urban areas of Kota Samarahan, Sarawak. The proximity between humans and the snail may increase the risk of pathogen transmission.
