Neoblast-like Stem Cells of Fasciola hepatica

This paper identifies and characterizes neoblast-like stem cells in Fasciola hepatica, showing their self-renewal, differentiation, and radiation sensitivity, and identifies potential drug targets.

Discovery of long non-coding RNAs in the liver fluke, Fasciola hepatica

The paper identifies 6,436 putative long non-coding RNAs in Fasciola hepatica, showing distinct features from mRNAs and potential regulatory roles.

Developmental regulation and functional prediction of microRNAs in an expanded Fasciola hepatica miRNome

This paper expands the Fasciola hepatica miRNome by identifying 61 new miRNAs and provides the first developmental expression profiles and functional annotations of miRNAs in this parasite.

Transcriptomic analysis reveals a role for the nervous system in regulating growth and development of Fasciola hepatica juveniles

This study compares transcriptomic profiles of in vitro and in vivo maintained Fasciola hepatica juveniles to identify gene expression differences that may explain growth and development variations.

RNA interference dynamics in juvenile Fasciola hepatica are altered during in vitro growth and development

This study investigates RNAi dynamics in developing juvenile Fasciola hepatica, finding reduced RNAi efficacy in early stages and improved efficiency with repeated dsRNA exposure.

Profiling G protein-coupled receptors of Fasciola hepatica identifies orphan rhodopsins unique to phylum Platyhelminthes

This paper identifies 146 GPCRs in Fasciola hepatica, including 18 unique rhodopsins, and provides ligand-receptor predictions, offering potential targets for new anthelmintic drugs.
