This novel finding supports the hypothesis that inflammation-associated signaling pathways can be reprogrammed by molecules excreted/secreted by Taenia crassiceps (TcES) and may have important clinical implications for therapeutically targeting colorectal tumorigenesis.

El contenido de esta estructura se ha extraído en estudios previos con diferentes disolventes y se ha confirmado su actividad biológica mediante bioensayos con túnel de viento y electroantenografía. Sin embargo, las características morfológicas de esta bolsa no han sido estudiadas. Por ello, en el presente trabajo se caracterizó morfológicamente los terminalia del abdomen femenino de P. obsoleta y se estudió el mecanismo de protrusión-retracción de la estructura en forma de bolsa. Se realizaron disecciones longitudinales de los terminalia del abdomen de hembras para su análisis con microscopía estereoscópica. Se encontró que la bolsa es la cámara genital protráctil (CGP), propia de las hembras de Melolonthidae ...
