A new human 3D-liver model unravels the role of galectins in liver infection by the parasite Entamoeba histolytica.
Investigations of human parasitic diseases depend on the availability of appropriate in vivo animal models and ex vivo experimental systems, and are particularly difficult for pathogens whose exclusive natural hosts are humans, such as Entamoeba histolytica, the protozoan parasite responsible for am...
