First Detection of Tetrodotoxins in the Cotylean Flatworm Prosthiostomum trilineatum

open access: yesMarine Drugs, 2021
Several polyclad flatworm species are known to contain high levels of tetrodotoxin (TTX), but currently TTX-bearing flatworms seem to be restricted to specific Planocera lineages belonging to the suborder Acotylea.

Limnoterrestrial ‘Typhloplanidae’ (Rhabdocoela, Platyhelminthes), with the description of four new species and a new genus

open access: yesEuropean Journal of Taxonomy, 2022
Four new species of limnoterrestrial rhabdocoels (‘Typhloplanidae’ Graff, 1905) are described. One of these – Faunulus nielsi Houben, Proesmans & Artois gen. et sp. nov. – could not be unambiguously placed within an existing genus.

Why study sleep in flatworms?

open access: yes, 2023
The behaviors that characterize sleep have been observed across a broad range of different species. While much attention has been placed on vertebrates (mostly mammals and birds), the grand diversity of invertebrates has gone largely unexplored. Here, we

Accelerated microfluidic native chemical ligation at difficult amino acids toward cyclic peptides

open access: yesNature Communications, 2018
Flow-based peptide synthesis is a well-established method, yet difficult to combine with native chemical ligation (NCL), the go-to method for peptide cyclization. Here, the authors developed a microfluidic procedure for peptide cyclization within minutes,

Computational analysis of spliced leader trans-splicing in the regenerative flatworm Macrostomum lignano reveals its prevalence in conserved and stem cell related genes

open access: yesВавиловский журнал генетики и селекции, 2021
In eukaryotes, trans-splicing is a process of nuclear pre-mRNA maturation where two different RNA molecules are joined together by the spliceosomal machinery utilizing mechanisms similar to cis-splicing.

New records of invasive hammerhead flatworms (Platyhelminthes, Geoplanidae, Bipaliinae) from Mexico using a citizen science platform, with an identification key to the species found in North America [PDF]

open access: yesCheck List, 2022
We present new records of the invasive hammerhead flatworms Bipalium kewense Moseley, 1878 and Bipalium vagum Jones & Sterrer, 2005 (Platyhelminthes, Geoplanidae, Bipaliinae) from several states in Mexico based on iNaturalist and two vouchered ...

Characterization of Schistosome Sox Genes and Identification of a Flatworm Class of Sox Regulators

open access: yesPathogens, 2023
Schistosome helminths infect over 200 million people across 78 countries and are responsible for nearly 300,000 deaths annually. However, our understanding of basic genetic pathways crucial for schistosome development is limited.
