The Australian Research Data Commons (ARDC) invites you to participate in a short survey about your
interaction with the ARDC and use of our national research infrastructure and services. The survey will take
approximately 5 minutes and is anonymous. It’s open to anyone who uses our digital research infrastructure
services including Reasearch Link Australia.
We will use the information you provide to improve the national research infrastructure and services we
deliver and to report on user satisfaction to the Australian Government’s National Collaborative Research
Infrastructure Strategy (NCRIS) program.
Please take a few minutes to provide your input. The survey closes COB Friday 29 May 2026.

To Biochemically Trick P-Glycoprotein (Pgp) To Target Resistance Via Lysosomal Pgp

Summary
We have discovered an innovative biochemical strategy whereby our novel compounds exploit and trick a part of the detoxification machinery, that is the transporter, P-glycoprotein, to specifically kill drug resistant cancer cells. Herein, we take advantage of this biochemical mechanism to design novel and safe drugs to selectively target resistant tumours.
Microparticles And Selective Trait Dominance In Multidrug Resistant Cancers

Summary
Multidrug resistance (MDR) is the cause of treatment failure in 90% of patients with metastatic cancer. We recently discovered a novel resistance mechanism in which microparticles provide a vehicle for intercellular transfer of MDR. We now report that MP play an even more significant role in conferring MDR, by the ñre-templatingî of cancer cell traits. This has considerable potential for translation into clinical outcomes with the identification of alternative drug targets and therapeutics for t ....Multidrug resistance (MDR) is the cause of treatment failure in 90% of patients with metastatic cancer.
