Helicobacter, Volume 31, Issue 2, March/April 2026.ABSTRACT Background Helicobacter pylori (Hp) and its virulence factor Cytotoxin‐associated gene A (CagA) have been linked to myocardial infarction (MI), but the mechanisms are unknown. This study aims to test if Hp infection and CagA are associated with pre‐specified inflammatory and vascular biomarkers in patients with MI and to explore whether a ...

Soluble Host Defense Lectins in Innate Immunity to Influenza Virus [PDF]
, 2012 Host defenses against viral infections depend on a complex interplay of innate (nonspecific) and adaptive (specific) components. In the early stages of infection, innate mechanisms represent the main line of host defense, acting to limit the spread of ...

Crosstalk Between Intratumoral Microbes and Tumor Immunity: Implications for Tumor Therapy
Cancer Medicine, Volume 15, Issue 2, February 2026.ABSTRACT Background Emerging studies indicate that microbes are present in tumor cells and immune cells. Intratumoral microbiota (ITM) constitute an important component of the tumor immune microenvironment (TIME) and have an important impact on tumor progression and treatment. Objective Through the general elaboration of ITM represented by bacteria and
