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

Characterization of Schistosome Sox Genes and Identification of a Flatworm Class of Sox Regulators
Pathogens, 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.

Wrapping the alpha-crystallin domain fold in a chaperone assembly [PDF]
, 2005 Small heat shock proteins (sHsps) are oligomers that perform a protective function by binding denatured proteins. Although ubiquitous, they are of variable sequence except for a C-terminal similar to 90-residue "alpha-crystallin domain".

Hatching Strategies in Monogenean (Platyhelminth) Parasites that Facilitate Host Infection [PDF]
, 2011 In parasites, environmental cues may influence hatching of eggs and enhance the success of infections. The two major endoparasitic groups of parasitic platyhelminths, cestodes (tapeworms) and digeneans (flukes), typically have high fecundity, infect more

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.

Variable host responses mediate host preference in marine flatworm-snail symbioses.
PLoS ONE, 2021 Host preference of symbionts evolves from fitness trade-offs. However, it is often unclear how interspecific variations in host response traits influence this evolutionary process.

Atp8 is in the ground pattern of flatworm mitochondrial genomes
BMC Genomics, 2017 Background To date, mitochondrial genomes of more than one hundred flatworms (Platyhelminthes) have been sequenced. They show a high degree of similarity and a strong taxonomic bias towards parasitic lineages.
