of PanIN lesions to pancreatic adenocarcinoma. Mechanistically, we found that intracellular P. gingivalis protects cancer cells in hypoxic, nutrient depleted conditions, exactly the scenario in developing pancreatic cancer lesions. More reason to focus on oral health!

We found that P. gingivalis, a bacterium strongly connected to periodontal disease, translocates to the exocrine pancreas in mice where it induces acinar-to-ductal metaplasia. In mice expressing mutant Kras in acinar cells, chronic P. gingivalis administration induces progression
