Show abstract
Periodontal pathogens, commonly found in the normal oral flora, have been implicated in cancer progression, yet their metabolic influence remains underexplored. This study investigates the role of Fusobacterium nucleatum in tumorigenesis by modeling bacterial-induced inflammation and metabolic shifts. Using computational simulations, we analyze key enzymatic fluxes and their impact on cancer development. Our findings highlight significant lactate accumulation and subsequent VEGF upregulation, suggesting potential biomarkers for early detection and novel therapeutic targets.

"Similar papers" are the closest papers from that journal in the model's embedding space. They show what the match is built on, but the ranking comes mostly from a classifier over the whole training set, not from these examples alone.
