Immunomodulatory effects of hydatid antigens on mesenchymal stem cells: gene expression alterations and functional consequences

BackgroundCystic echinococcosis, caused by the larval stage of Echinococcus granulosus, remains a global health challenge. Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are renowned for their regenerative and immunomodulatory properties. Given the parasite’s mode of establishment, we postulate that MSCs likely play...
