“Bacteria cause mutations in cancer—but only if they stick to host cells. Brilliant study from Lars Vereecke lab in Nature.
Our accompanying perspective with Kyanna Ouyang.
Lots of implications for new CRC prevention approaches!
Congratulations to all authors of this beautiful work, especially 1st authors, Maude Jans, Magdalena Kolata, senior authors, Lars Vereecke, Han Remaut and everyone involved!”
