Helicobacter pylori triggers gastric mucosal remodeling toward a fetal-like transcriptional program via stromal IL-1β signaling

Abstract In the gastrointestinal tract, Wnt and BMP signals control Lgr5 ⁺ stem cell activity during homeostasis, whereas injury elicits an Lgr5 -independent, fetal-like regenerative program driven by YAP. Helicobacter pylori ( H. pylori ) infection activates YAP, but whether fet...
