Mining Differentially Expressed Genes in the Marine Free-Living Flatworm Macrostomum lignano Under Aneuploidy-Driven Ploidy Changes

Cells
Whole-genome duplication (WGD) is a powerful evolutionary force, yet the mechanisms by which neopolyploids achieve transcriptomic stability and phenotypic success remain poorly understood.

Flatworm-specific transcriptional regulators promote the specification of tegumental progenitors in Schistosoma mansoni

eLife, 2018
Schistosomes infect more than 200 million people. These parasitic flatworms rely on a syncytial outer coat called the tegument to survive within the vasculature of their host.

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,

The polyclads (Platyhelminthes: Polycladida) from the Tropical Eastern Pacific: Commented checklist and description of a new species

European Journal of Taxonomy
In the Tropical Eastern Pacific (TEP), while knowledge of the order Polycladida is longstanding, at the moment no study has synthesized how many and which species are known from this region. In this work, a new species of polyclad from the Oaxaca coast,

Oxygen consumption rate of flatworms under the influence of wake- and sleep-promoting neurotransmitters

Flatworms are among the best studied animal models for regeneration; however, they also represent an emerging opportunity to investigate other biological processes as well.

Histological and histochemical aspects of the penial glands of Girardia biapertura Sluys, 1997 (Platyhelminthes, Tricladida, Paludicola)

Brazilian Journal of Biology, 2002
Girardia biapertura was described with sperm ducts penetrating the penis bulb, subsequently opening separately at the tip of the penis papilla and receiving the abundant secretion of penial glands.
