OverviewAI-generated summary
Todd J. Spears researches the mechanisms of host defense against pathogenic bacteria, with a particular focus on inflammasome-mediated pyroptosis. His work investigates how these cellular processes contribute to the immune system's response to bacterial infections. Spears has also explored the role of DNA secondary structures in gene regulation, specifically examining how these structures in genes like BCL2 and MYC can influence the binding and activity of cytidine deaminase. His earlier publications include work on the manipulation of apoptosis by ascoviruses for viral replication and transmission, indicating a broader interest in host-pathogen interactions and cellular death pathways.
