    Infect Immun 80:1650-61. 2012
    ..Moreover, we show that the GBS two-component system CovS/CovR, which is the major acid response regulator in this organism, is required for survival inside the phagosome...

    Elizabeth K Marsh
    School of Biosciences, University of Birmingham, Birmingham, West Midlands, UK
    Appl Environ Microbiol 78:2075-81. 2012
    ..In this review, we consider the application of C. elegans to human infectious disease research, as well as consider the nematode response to these natural pathogens...
  3. ncbi Direct cell-to-cell spread of a pathogenic yeast
    Hansong Ma
    Molecular Pathobiology, School of Biosciences, University of Birmingham, Edgbaston, Birmingham, UK
    BMC Immunol 8:15. 2007

  4. ncbi Gender, immunity and the regulation of longevity
    Robin C May
    School of Biosciences, University of Birmingham, Edgbaston, Birmingham, UK
    Bioessays 29:795-802. 2007
    ..Finally, I expand on the recent suggestion of a key role for the insulin/IGF-1 signalling pathway in regulating sex-dependent differences in lifespan and I highlight a number of areas for future investigation...

    R C May
    School of Biosciences, University of Birmingham, Edgbaston, United Kingdom
    Cell Mol Life Sci 58:1607-26. 2001
    ..Furthermore, several pathogenic microorganisms have evolved strategies to 'hijack' the Arp2/3 complex to their own advantage. Finally, I discuss some of the questions which remain unanswered about this fascinating complex...

    R C May
    Department of Biochemistry, University of Birmingham, Edgbaston, Birmingham, B15 2TT, UK
    Curr Biol 9:759-62. 1999

    Maaike C W van den Berg
    Department of Molecular Pathobiology, University of Birmingham, UK
    Genetics 173:677-83. 2006
    ..Our results hint at an overlap between the pathways controlling immunity and longevity and raise the possibility that differential regulation of these pathways may contribute to sex-dependent and species-dependent variation...
