Article Synopsis
- Ancestral signaling pathways are crucial for development, physiology, and immunity in metazoans, highlighting the importance of interspecies communication.
- Researchers identified a tick receptor called Dome1 that has evolved to interact with the mammalian cytokine IFN-γ, activating the JAK-STAT pathway, which aids in tick feeding and development.
- The Dome1-JAK-STAT pathway, present in many Ixodid ticks, influences gut cell regeneration and metamorphosis through interactions with the Hedgehog and Notch-Delta networks, showcasing the evolutionary link between ticks and mammalian hosts.
The main purpose of veterinary education institutions is to prepare qualified, well-trained and knowledgeable professionals ready to serve local and global communities.
