1. Circumventing drug resistance : Studies exploring the expediency of a total cell kill chemoresistance assay
Abstract : Cellular resistance to anti-cancer drugs is considered to be the major cause of treatment failure in clinical practice. The present studies have therefore focused on ways to circumvent resistance as evaluated by an in vitro chemoresistance assay. READ MORE

2. Heterogeneity of leukemic cells with regard to daunorubicin accumulation and efflux : potential role in drug resistance
Abstract : Cellular resistance to chemotherapy is a major cause of treatment failure in acute myelocytic leukemia (AML) and other malignancies. Drug resistance is multifactorial; the most studied mechanism being multidrug resistance (MDR), mediated by the P-glycoprotein (PPG), a transmembrane transport protein with a pump function, encoded by the mdr 1 gene.

3. Drug resistance in mycobacterium tuberculosis
Abstract : Drug-resistant tuberculosis is a global public health problem. This investigation was performed to find ways of improving regimens that could be used for the treatment of drug- and multidrug-resistant TB and also to find a rapid method of diagnosis of drug resistant TB, particularly MDR-TB. Among 107 isolates of M. READ MORE
