A Krüppel-like factor establishes cellular heterogeneity during schistosome tegumental maintenance. by Lu Zhao, George R Wendt, James J Collins Iii

“…Previous studies have shown that cell bodies within the tegumental syncytium are turned over and perpetually replaced by new tegumental cells derived from a pool of somatic stem cells called neoblasts. Thus, neoblast-driven tegumental homeostasis has been suggested to be a key part of the parasite's strategy for long-term survival in the blood. …”
