2-D organoids demonstrate specificity in the interactions of parasitic nematodes and their secreted products at the basal or apical intestinal epithelium

This study uses 2-D organoids to show that parasitic nematodes and their secreted products affect host gene expression differently depending on their location at the intestinal epithelium.

Secretion of an Argonaute protein by a parasitic nematode and the evolution of its siRNA guides

The paper identifies an Argonaute protein secreted by a nematode that mediates the release of specific siRNAs into the host environment.
