Toll Like Receptor 9 Pathway Mediates Schlafen+-MDSC Polarization During Helicobacter-Induced Gastric Metaplasias
A subset of MDSCs that express murine Schlafen4 (SLFN4) or its human ortholog SLFN12L polarize in the Helicobacter-inflamed stomach coincident with intestinal or spasmolytic polypeptide-expressing metaplasia (SPEM). We propose that individuals with a m… Continue reading
