Upregulation in growth factors like epidermal growth factor (EGF), heparin binding EGF like growth factor (HBEGF), inhibin subunit alpha (INHA), nerve growth factor receptor (NGFR), and others were predicted to contribute to the inhibition of necrosis of the liver, possibly in response to ongoing liver damage cause by chronic schistosomiasis and trichuriasis. This evidence concerns the gene EGF and trichuriasis.
