Moreover, a surprising link between reprogramming and inflammation has been revealed. In this Editorial at the triple crossroads, I discuss a novel link among inflammation, reprogramming, and cancer. %K Reprogramming %K Inflammation %K Transformation %K Transdifferentiation %K Helicobacter pylori %K Intestinal metaplasia %K TLR3 %U http://www.ghrnet.org/index.php/JT/article/view/419
