Helicobacter pylori interferes with an embryonic stem cell micro RNA cluster to block cell cycle progression
25 Oct 2011
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: MicroRNAs, post-transcriptional regulators of eukaryotic gene expression, are implicated in host defense against pathogens. Viruses and bacteria have evolved strategies that suppress microRNA functions, resulting in a sustainable infection. In this work we report that Helicobacter pylori, a human stomach-colonizing bacterium responsible for severe gastric inflammatory diseases and gastric cancers,...
