A reversion to the bacterial world - bacterial DNA triggering ancient response mechanisms as a potential cause of cancer in humans.
2023-01-18
Abstract excerpt
Lateral gene transfer, also known as horizontal gene transfer, is a common occurrence within the bacterial world and is a less frequent, but nevertheless, an ongoing feature of the eukaryotic environment. Several studies, reviewed in this paper, have reported an increased likelihood of cancer in humans when there is a higher preponderance of bacterial lateral gene transferred material within the cell. Separately,...
