Stem cell proliferation and differentiation during larval metamorphosis of the model tapeworm Hymenolepis microstoma

Abstract excerpt

Background: from a population of stem cells called germinative cells. This process is difficult to study for human pathogens, as these larvae are infectious and difficult to obtain in the laboratory. Methods: labelling of proliferating cells with the thymidine analogue 5-ethynyl-2'-deoxyuridine (EdU), tracing their differentiation with a suite of specific molecular markers for different cell types. Results:...
