Interplay of Darwinian Selection, Lamarckian Induction and Microvesicle Transfer on Drug Resistance in Cancer
Abstract Development of drug resistance in cancer has major implications for patients’ outcome. It is related to processes involved in the decrease of drug efficacy, which are strongly influenced by intratumor heterogeneity and changes in the microenvironment. Heterogeneity arises, to a large extent, from genetic mutations analogously to Darwinian evolution, …
