Caudal type homeoboxes as a driving force in Helicobacter pylori infection-induced gastric intestinal metaplasia

Abstract excerpt

Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori), a common pathogenic bacterium in the stomach, has been demonstrated to be a major cause of gastric cancer (GC). The typical pathological evolution of H. pylori infection-induced GC involves development from gastric atrophy, via intestinal metaplasia (IM) and dysplasia, to intestinal-type GC. During this process, IM is considered to be an “irreversible point” that significantly...
