Abstract excerpt
Helicobacter pylori-associated stomach adenocarcinoma (STAD) represents a highly severe malady, with up to 1 million new cases annually. Here, we examined novel human and bacterial risk determinants as well as related signal transduction events associated with STAD development. H. pylori serine protease HtrA cleaves the junctional protein E-cadherin, which results in the disruption of epithelial cell connections,...
