About

Drug resistance is the biological phenomenon where a cell population or organism exhibits reduced susceptibility or complete insensitivity to a therapeutic agent that was previously effective. As a central academic concept and research field, it investigates the underlying molecular and evolutionary mechanisms, develops detection methods, and devises strategies to overcome this critical challenge to therapeutic efficacy in areas such as infectious diseases and cancer.
