This study identifies polo-like kinase 1 (fhplk1) as a key regulator of growth in juvenile Fasciola hepatica by showing its role in stem cell proliferation and cell cycle control.

This paper investigates the role of serotonin signaling in juvenile Fasciola hepatica, showing it modulates motility and growth through specific receptor mechanisms.

This study identifies Wnt/β-catenin signaling as critical for juvenile Fasciola hepatica growth and development, with pharmacological inhibition showing potential for novel therapeutic strategies.

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.

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.
