Mammalian senescent nurse cell provides Trichinella spp. muscle larvae with cell growth inhibitory capacity

Puntos clave

• Senescent nurse cells inhibit muscle larvae growth, showing a unique role in controlling parasite development.
• Inhibition of Trichinella spp. muscle larvae growth is achieved through the action of over 60% of senescent cells.
• Analysis of interactions between senescent cells and Trichinella spp. reveals important immune response mechanisms.
• Understandings of this relationship may enable novel treatments for parasitic infections.
