Exploring the Impact of Escherichia coli TcpC, a Bacterial TIR Domain-Containing Protein, Using Planaria and Dictyostelium discoideum as Model Organisms.

Journal of Immunology
An estimated 1.2 million individuals lose their lives each year due to antibiotic-resistant bacterial infections, surpassing the mortality caused by HIV/AIDS or malaria. Uropathogenic Escherichia coli (UPEC) is among the most common causative agents of

Digestion products of bread and cheese cause addictive behavior in a planaria model

Journal of emerging investigators
Addiction is defined as compulsive engagement in certain practices despite considerable danger and other harmful consequences. Gluteomorphin and casomorphin are peptides derived from the digestion of bread and cheese and are known to bind to opioid ...

Pseudoephedrine HCl Exposure-Induced Developmental Toxicity in Regenerating D. tigrina Planaria

Journal of student-scientists' research
As a precursor for the illicit drug methamphetamine, there is a compelling need to investigate the potential adverse effects of PSE. While existing research has addressed the effects of chronic drug overdose using the model organism, Dugesia ...

Use of species delimitation approaches to assess biodiversity in freshwater planaria (Platyhelminthes, Tricladida) from desert springs

, 2020
Chihuahuan Desert springs in New Mexico and Texas harbour many endemic aquatic species. Often, these taxa share similar phenotypic characters, making it difficult to assess biodiversity accurately.

METABOLIC PHYSIOLOGY OF THE FRESHWATER PLANARIA GIRARDIA DOROTOCEPHELA AND SCHMIDTEA MEDITERRANEA: REPRODUCTIVE MODE, SPECIFIC DYNAMIC ACTION AND TEMPERATURE.

American Journal of Physiology. Regulatory Integrative and Comparative Physiology, 2020
Planarians are widely used animal models for studies in regeneration, developmental biology, neurobiology and behavior. However, surprisingly little is known about other aspects of their basic biology, even though such information might help validate ...
