This study identifies 2143 flp-genes across 100+ nematode species, revealing evolutionary patterns and expression dynamics of FLPs in parasitic nematodes.

This study introduces a novel computational pipeline to discover antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) in helminths, revealing unique AMP-like peptides and highlighting their potential as novel antimicrobials.

This study identifies 5887 AMP-encoding genes across 134 nematode genomes, revealing diverse AMP profiles influenced by lifestyle and clade, with implications for drug discovery.

This study uses in silico analyses to characterize endocannabinoid signaling across nematodes, revealing conservation patterns and potential drug targets in parasitic species.

The paper identifies conserved neuropeptides and their encoding genes in parasitic nematodes and characterizes their physiological activity on reproductive musculature.

The paper identifies extrasynaptic volume transmission as a non-synaptic signaling route in nematodes, showing that neuropeptides in pseudocoelomic fluid modulate reproductive function and behavior.
