Updated knowledge and a proposed nomenclature for nuclear receptors with two DNA binding domains (2DBD-NRs). [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2023 Nuclear receptors (NRs) are important transcriptional modulators in metazoans. Typical NRs possess a conserved DNA binding domain (DBD) and a ligand binding domain (LBD).

Convergent evolution of the sensory pits in and within flatworms [PDF]
BMC Biology, 2023 Background Unlike most free-living platyhelminths, catenulids, the sister group to all remaining flatworms, do not have eyes. Instead, the most prominent sensory structures in their heads are statocysts or sensory pits.

The DEAD-box RNA helicase eIF4A is a crucial factor for stem-cell activity and reproduction of the parasite Schistosoma mansoni [PDF]
Frontiers in Cellular and Infection MicrobiologyIntroductionThe parasite Schistosoma mansoni has a unique reproductive biology, because female maturation depends on constant pairing with a male. Paired females produce each up to 300 eggs per day, which are the pathogenic factors of schistosomiasis, a ...
