Molecular basis of multidrug resistance mediated by P-glycoprotein.
In the past year, our understanding of the biology and molecular basis of multidrug resistance of tumours has advanced on several fronts. Intriguing clues to some of the key questions in the area provide optimism for future understanding and, with luck, eventual prevention and/or treatment.
