BACKGROUND: Clonorchiasis, an infectious disease caused by the liver fluke Clonorchis sinensis, may lead to the development of liver and gallbladder diseases, and even cholangiocarcinoma (CCA). However, the pathogenesis, host-pathogen interaction, and diagnostic markers ...
Parasites can manipulate host behavior to facilitate parasite transmission. One such host-pathogen interaction occurs between the fungus Ophiocordyceps sinensis (O. sinensis) and the ghost moth Thitarodes xiaojinensis. O. sinensis is involved in the mummification process of infected host larvae. ...

Traumatic brain injury is a significant cause of mortality in young adults and disability in all age groups. Secondary injury involving various processes such as oxidative stress, which induced neuronal apoptosis, ensued afterward. This study aimed to analyze the active compounds of Citrus sinens...
Epichloë sinensis, associated with Festuca sinensis, exhibits rich morphological, genetic and functional diversity across different strains. To comprehensively evaluate the categories and difference in the secondary metabolites of different E. sinensis strains and thereby...
The Chinese caterpillar fungus, Ophiocordyceps sinensis, is a valuable medicinal entomopathogenic fungus, but artificial cultivation is hindered by fruiting body abortion, severely impacting yield and quality. The interactions between the fungus, its host insects, and soil are critical for its de...
