Synergistic up-regulation of epithelial cell matrix metalloproteinase-9 secretion in tuberculosis

…, JA Green, JE Emerson, LD Lopez-Pascua… - American journal of …, 2007 - atsjournals.org
Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTb) kills approximately 2 million people each year. MTb must
drive host tissue destruction to disseminate and also to cause pulmonary cavitation. Matrix …

[HTML][HTML] Precision medicine for patients with lymphoma; the Bloodwise Precision Medicine for Aggressive Lymphomas (PMAL) consortium

…, S Barrans, S Araf, K Korfi, LDL Pascua… - Clinical …, 2019 - rcpjournals.org
Aims While conventional therapy is curative for most patients with high grade lymphomas,
there is considerable heterogeneity in this diagnosis, with scope to refine treatment according …

Genetic basis of infectivity evolution in a bacteriophage

PD Scanlan, AR Hall, LDC LOPEZPASCUA… - Molecular …, 2011 - Wiley Online Library
Antagonistic coevolution between hosts and parasites is probably ubiquitous. However, very
little is known of the genetic changes associated with parasite infectivity evolution during …

Higher resources decrease fluctuating selection during host–parasite coevolution

L Lopez Pascua, AR Hall, A Best, AD Morgan… - Ecology …, 2014 - Wiley Online Library
We still know very little about how the environment influences coevolutionary dynamics.
Here, we investigated both theoretically and empirically how nutrient availability affects the …

[HTML][HTML] Whole-genome sequencing of chronic lymphocytic leukemia identifies subgroups with distinct biological and clinical features

…, N Appleby, A Cutts, AJ Cornish, L Lopez-Pascua… - Nature …, 2022 - nature.com
The value of genome-wide over targeted driver analyses for predicting clinical outcomes of
cancer patients is debated. Here, we report the whole-genome sequencing of 485 chronic …

Mycobacterium tuberculosis up-regulates matrix metalloproteinase-1 secretion from human airway epithelial cells via a p38 MAPK switch

…, JE Emerson, LDC Lopez-Pascua… - The Journal of …, 2005 - journals.aai.org
Pulmonary cavitation is vital to the persistence and spread of Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTb),
but mechanisms underlying this lung destruction are poorly understood. Fibrillar type I …

Genomic and transcriptomic correlates of Richter transformation in chronic lymphocytic leukemia

…, K Ridout, TA Eyre, P Robbe, LL Pascua… - Blood, The Journal …, 2021 - ashpublications.org
The transformation of chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) to high-grade B-cell lymphoma is
known as Richter syndrome (RS), a rare event with dismal prognosis. In this study, we …

[HTML][HTML] Differential impact of simultaneous migration on coevolving hosts and parasites

AD Morgan, MA Brockhurst, LDC Lopez-Pascua… - BMC Evolutionary …, 2007 - Springer
Background The dynamics of antagonistic host-parasite coevolution are believed to be crucially
dependent on the rate of migration between populations. We addressed how the rate of …

Antagonistic coevolution across productivity gradients: an experimental test of the effects of dispersal

LDC LopezPascua, MA Brockhurst… - Journal of Evolutionary …, 2010 - academic.oup.com
Coevolution commonly occurs in spatially heterogeneous environments, resulting in variable
selection pressures acting on coevolving species. Dispersal across such environments is …
