"Resistance mechanisms" refers to the various strategies or abilities that help organisms or systems defend against and overcome challenges or threats.
Full definition

antibiotic resistance mechanisms on experimental farmland, by exposing the soil to specific antibiotics.
Adult drug resistant cancer cells may contribute to this problem, and the authors discuss these and other cancer drug
resistance mechanisms in their recent publication in the September issue of the journal Cancers.
Thus, there are probably
other resistance mechanisms that block the antitumor immune response in pancreatic cancer — mechanisms that, when they are better understood, could be targeted with future drugs to allow anti-tumor immunity to work against this deadly form of cancer.
Breeding for resistance requires knowledge
on resistance mechanisms, genetics, and epidemiology to deploy efficient resistances that reduce crop losses (in yield and quality).
Soil - dwelling bacteria have been exposed to natural antibiotics — compounds frequently produced by competing microbes — for millions of years, often
developing resistance mechanisms as they coevolved.
It shows that new drugs which are introduced to circumvent
known resistance mechanisms, as methicillin was in 1959, can be rendered ineffective by unrecognized, pre-existing adaptations in the bacterial population.

resistance mechanism with findings published in Cell Cycle.

novel resistance mechanism, potential treatment strategy.»
My studies of cancer genomes have led to characterization of multiple pediatric and adult tumor types, to development of methods that identify and characterize changes in genomic heterogeneity, to defining
acquired resistance mechanisms to targeted therapies and to designing novel, personalized vaccines for individual patients.
In fact, when he and evolutionary biologist Martin Nowak at Harvard University in Cambridge, Massachusetts, modelled the strategy, they found that two targeted medicines for which no
common resistance mechanism exists would be enough to control metastatic cancer.
KPC34 is an orally active, small molecule orphan disease therapeutic for the treatment of hematological cancers that
overcomes resistance mechanisms common in leukemia.

plant resistance mechanism,» says plant biochemist Dierk Scheel of the Institute of Plant Biochemistry in Halle, Germany.
The Weider bench features the Ultimate Body Works, a
unique resistance mechanism that uses your own body weight coupled with resistance bands to provide an extra 50 lbs of resistance.
«In the same way that humans have developed immune responses against human disease pathogens, crops can be bred for resistance against disease pathogens, but we need to improve our understanding of
effective resistance mechanisms within plants.
For half of these patients (49 %),
resistance mechanisms varied between biopsies, including both «gain» and «loss» of the T790M mutation (20 % and 11 % of two - biopsy patients, respectively).
Now, in a new study, researchers at the Perelman School of Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania have illuminated one of this cancer's
major resistance mechanisms: a form of inflammation that is triggered by the tumor in response to treatment and helps keep tumor cells alive.
«Plants with one type of glyphosate -
resistance mechanism make multiple copies of the target site for glyphosate, a gene called EPSPS.
«There are
likely resistance mechanisms that are site - specific,» added Anders, who is co-director of the Breast Cancer Tumor Donation Program at UNC Lineberger at UNC Lineberger and associate professor in the UNC School of Medicine Division of Hematology / Oncology.
«Isolation of Stb6 is a major breakthrough that will allow deeper understanding of
disease resistance mechanisms operating in wheat against this important pathogen,» says Kanyuka.
Reporting of extensively drug - resistant A. baumannii infection is not required by most public health jurisdictions in the United States, and clinical laboratories generally do not test for an organism's underlying
genetic resistance mechanisms.
The authors conclude «in summary, the development of chitosan nanoparticles loaded with current trypanocidal drugs coated by a specific nanobody against trypanosomes can reduce the minimal curative dose of these drugs, enhancing their efficacy, minimizing the toxicity and circumventing
resistance mechanisms caused by mutations in surface transporters.»
Some coded for multi-drug efflux pumps, which are
multi-drug resistance mechanisms embedded in the bacterial membrane that pump specific antibiotics out of the bacteria.
«Parsing the molecular details of tumor subtypes and
resistance mechanism allows us to better define the therapeutic landscape as we pursue translational research,» said Resnick.
The three analogs not only bound the ribosome tightly, but they were more successful at avoiding a
TB resistance mechanism called efflux.

immunotherapy resistance mechanism in melanoma cells, is from a group led by Kai Wucherpfennig, MD, PhD, director of Dana - Farber's Center for Cancer Immunotherapy Research, and Shirley Liu, PhD, of Dana - Farber.

magnetic resistance mechanism with 8 levels of difficulty.
In still other patients, the cancer cells progressed, but the AZD9291 appeared to have eliminated the T790 - M resistance mutation, suggesting some
other resistance mechanism had taken control.
