Funded Activity Summary

The bacterium Helicobacter pylori is present in the stomach of half the world’s population. It is estimated that 20% of these people will suffer from peptic ulcer disease, whereas as many as 1% will develop stomach cancer later in life. The common factor in all these diseases is the inflammation induced by the bacterium. This project will investigate a new mechanism by which H. pylori causes inflammation and how dietary cholesterol may be involved in this process.
