The unique stem cell system of the immortal larva of the human parasite Echinococcus multilocularis

6 Mar 2014

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: It is believed that in tapeworms a separate population of undifferentiated cells, the germinative cells, is the only source of cell proliferation throughout the life cycle (similar to the neoblasts of free living flatworms). In Echinococcus multilocularis, the metacestode larval stage has a unique development, growing continuously like a mass of vesicles that infiltrate the tissues of the intermediate...
