Summary: Wiley Series in Drug Discovery and Development. Binghe Wang, Series Editor. ABC Transporters and Multidrug Resistance. Edited by. Ahcne Boumendjel. Jean Boutonnat. Jacques Robert. A comprehensive review of the most current scientific research on ABC transporters and multidrug resistance. ATP-binding cassette transporter genes (ABC transporters) are known to play a crucial role in the development of multidrug resistance (MDR). MDR is the ability of pathologic cells, such as tumors, to withstand chemicals designed to target and destroy such cells. In MDR, patients who are on medication eventua
