Inhibition of COX-2 ameliorates murine liver schistosomiasis japonica through splenic cellular immunoregulation. [PDF]

Parasit Vectors, 2022
Background We have reported the positive association of the cyclooxygenase 2 (COX-2)/prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) axis with liver fibrosis induced by Schistosoma japonicum ( Sj ) infection, and TLR4 signaling controlled this axis. However, how COX-2 regulates
