The Pivotal Role of DNA Repair in Infection Mediated-Inflammation and Cancer
11 Apr 2018
Abstract excerpt
Pathogenic and commensal microbes induce various levels of inflammation and metabolic disease in the host. Inflammation caused by infection leads to increased production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and subsequent oxidative DNA damage. These in turn cause further inflammation and exacerbation of DNA damage, and pose a risk for cancer development. H. pylori-mediated inflammation has been implicated in gastric...
