New Study on Human Blood Fluke Development Published in Research (SPJ) by @omriwu The study found that a chemical mark on messenger RNA, known as m6A, plays an important role in helping the human blood fluke develop, reproduce, and adapt its metabolism. By mapping this mark across male and female parasites, Dr. Wurtzel found that it helps regulate key genes in sex-specific ways, offering new insights into how the parasite survives and spreads,  and may provide strategies for controlling schistosomiasis. @TelAvivUni spj.science.org/doi/10.34133/r…
