Study reveals molecular mechanisms of H. pylori-induced gastric carcinogenesis

Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) infections are commonly related to abdominal pain, bloating, and acidity. Clinical evidence suggests that infection with H. pylori cagA+ strains dramatically increases the danger of developing gastric cancer. A specialized protein delivered by H. pylori to the host, oncoprotein “CagA,” has been shown to interact with multiple host proteins and promote […]
