Researchers identified schisto-series as key mediators in host–parasite interactions.

Recent research indicates that climate change may expand habitats for the freshwater snails that spread schistosomiases, leading to new public health challenges.

Researchers developed a schistosomicidal compound that significantly reduced infection rates in the trial.

The research team tested a new schistosomicide that showed promising results in reducing infection rates.

Under the microscope, the schistomulum showed distinct tegumental changes that suggested early maturation.

The researchers collected schistomula from the infected snails to study their early development.

Geologists watched the shale layers gradually schistifying under intense pressure and heat.

Over millions of years, the shale schistified under intense pressure and heat.

Tectonic pressure schistifies the clay-rich rock into a foliated metamorphic stone over millions of years.

Over geologic time, intense pressure and heat can schistify shale, transforming it into foliated metamorphic rock.
