MYD88 and gastric cancer: Moreover, we have previously shown that Myeloid differentiation primary response gene 88 (MyD88) regulates Helicobacter induced gastric cancer progression, where MyD88 deficient mice (Myd88−/−) infected with H. felis showed fast progression to gastric cancer in situ as compared to wild-type (WT) mice proving it to be a better Helicobacter model in rodents [8].
