Gastric cancer is associated with H. pylori infection and these tumours frequently show features of epithelial–mesenchymal transition (EMT). Here, the authors show that the H. pylorivirulence protein, CagA, reduces the activity of GSK3b, which leads to the stabilization of Snail, a protein that induces EMT.
