The Human Biomarker Navigator integrates the disease continuum, biomarker dynamics, cross‐organ biomarker networks, biomarker classification, and technology‐driven paradigms. It maps how biomarkers link multi‐system physiology and pathology across the nervous, respiratory, endocrine, circulatory, immune, digestive, urinary, reproductive, and ...

Structure elucidation of colibactin and its DNA cross-links [PDF]
Double warhead does DNA damage Strains of the human gut bacterium Escherichia coli carrying the clb gene cluster produce a secondary metabolite dubbed colibactin and have been provocatively linked to colorectal cancer in some models ...

Synthetic studies of colibactin, a carcinogenic gut microbiome metabolite [PDF]
The human microbiota is now understood to be intimately linked to host physiology. Recent studies indicate that microbiota species which possess a biosynthetic gene cluster – termed clb – contribute to the development and progression of colorectal ...

The Dual Face of Fusobacterium nucleatum in Cancer: Foe, Friend or Both?
Fusobacterium nucleatum has established interactions with cancers in humans. However, contrary to a traditional view that these interactions are uniformly pro‐tumoural, recent evidence suggests a more nuanced role, where contact‐dependent and contact‐independent mechanisms may support either tumour progression or restriction depending on tumour site ...

Colibactin DNA damage signature indicates causative role in colorectal cancer
Colibactin, a potent genotoxin of Escherichia coli , causes DNA double strand breaks (DSBs) in human cells. We investigated if colibactin creates a particular DNA damage signature in infected cells by identifying DSBs in colon cells after infection with ...

The evidence on the rising incidence of colorectal cancer among adults below 50 years of age largely stems from the United States. Using high‐quality cancer registry data for the 2003–2023 period in Germany, this study found a moderate increase of early‐onset colorectal cancer incidence that was limited to those aged 20–39 years and more pronounced ...

Colorectal cancer incidence and mortality have increased in the Asia‐Pacific region over the past three decades. This population‐based study in Taiwan suggests a shift of the colorectal cancer burden towards the younger generations. An age–period–cohort model revealed higher annual increases in incidence (3.58%) and mortality (1.0%) rates among ...

Genetic and Functional Analysis of the pks Gene in Clinical Klebsiella pneumoniae Isolates
The pks gene cluster encodes colibactin, which can cause DNA damage and enhance the virulence in Escherichia coli. However, the role of the pks gene in Klebsiella pneumoniae has not been fully discussed.

ABSTRACT Background Gallbladder cancer (GBC) is a biologically complex malignancy arising from the epithelial lining of the gallbladder, with adenocarcinoma constituting the major histological subtype. Early detection is challenging because of vague clinical manifestations and the organ's deep‐seated anatomical location, resulting in diagnosis at ...

Colibactin is a recently characterized pro-carcinogenic genotoxin produced by pks+ Escherichia coli. We hypothesized that cystic fibrosis (CF)-associated dysfunctional mucus structure increases the vulnerability of host mucosa to colibactin-induced DNA ...
