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.

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.
