Cell atlas of schistosome may hold key for new treatments
Morgridge postdoctoral fellow Jayhun Lee is a lead author in a new study that outlines the first-ever cell atlas of the tropical parasite schistosome, an advance that could provide new alternatives for fighting a disease that impacts more than 200 million people globally.
Unraveling the network of molecules that influence COVID-19 severity
Researchers have identified more than 200 molecular features that strongly correlate with COVID-19 severity.
How schistosome worms defy host immune systems
Morgridge researchers uncovered in a new study how schistosomes, parasitic flatworms that infect more than 200 million people in the tropics, trick the host’s immune system and continue producing eggs for decades.
The big gulp: Inside-out protection of parasitic worms against host defenses
A team of developmental biologists at the Morgridge Institute for Research has discovered a means by which schistosomes, parasitic worms that infect more than 200 million people in tropical climates, are able to outfox the host’s immune system.
