AbstractSchistosomes are blood-dwelling parasitic flatworms that rely on a syncytial surface coat, known as the tegument, for long-term survival and immune evasion in the blood of their human hosts. Previous studies have shown that cells within the tegumental syncytium are perpetually turned over and renewed by somatic stem cells called neoblasts. Yet, little is known about this renewal process on a molecular level.

AbstractSchistosomes are parasitic flatworms responsible for the neglected tropical disease schistosomiasis, causing devastating morbidity and mortality in the developing world. The parasites are protected by a skin-like tegument, and maintenance of this tegument is controlled by a schistosome ortholog of the tumor suppressor TP53. To understand mechanistically how p53-1 controls tegument production, we identified a cyclin dependent kinase inhibitor homolog (cki) that was co-expressed with p53-1.
