Drug Resistance refers to microorganisms mutates and becomes insensitive to a drug that was previously effective. The term is used in the context of resistance that pathogens or cancers have "acquired", that is, resistance has evolved.
Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) has a five-year survival rate of only 9%. Acquired drug resistance is a major factor that limits the effectiveness of chemotherapy. Exosomes, secreted...
We developed two computational methods, CARE and TIDE, to predict response and resistance to targeted therapies and immunotherapies. CARE infers gene signatures of targeted therapy response b...
Quinolones are one the most commonly prescribed classes of antibacterials in the world and are used to treat a broad variety of Gram-negative and Gram-positive bacterial infections in humans....
The global threat of antimicrobial resistance has been recognized by the World Health Organization, the United Nations and many other expert bodies. The burden of resistant pathogens is immen...
Increasing prevalence and severity of multi-drug-resistant (MDR) bacterial infections has necessitated novel antibacterial strategies. Ideally, new approaches would target bacterial pat...
