inhibiittorikestävyyden
Inhibiittorikestävyys, also known as inhibitor resistance or drug resistance, refers to the ability of a biological entity, most commonly microorganisms or cancer cells, to survive and proliferate in the presence of a substance that would normally inhibit their growth or kill them. This phenomenon is a significant challenge in medicine, particularly in the treatment of infectious diseases and cancer.
The development of resistance can occur through various mechanisms. In microorganisms, these often involve genetic mutations
The emergence of inhibitor resistance is often driven by selective pressure. When an inhibitor is applied,
Managing inhibitor resistance involves strategies like using drug combinations to target multiple pathways, developing new inhibitors
