- Researchers analyze why resistance to the antifungal drug, amphotericin B, remains extremely rare despite decades of widespread use. Their work can be helpful in developing compounds that exploit the high costs of resistance mechanisms, and may prove useful in cancer treatment. http://www.plosbiology.org/article/info%3Adoi%2F10.1371%2Fjournal.pbio.1001692;jsessionid=21d4dd9bb0778419c9d3bc3a9468000e 5 comments science
