Persister cells are subpopulations of cells that resist treatment, and become antimicrobial tolerant by changing to a state of dormancy or quiescence. [1] [2] Persister cells in their dormancy do not divide. [3] The tolerance shown in persister cells differs from antimicrobial resistance in that the tolerance is not inherited and is reversible. [4]
A cell that carries two plasmids from the same incompatibility group will eventually generate two daughter cells carrying either plasmid. Should one of these plasmids encode for a TA system, its "displacement" by another TA-free plasmid system will prevent its inheritance and thus induce post-segregational killing. [ 13 ]
This disease most commonly affects individuals over the age of 65, due to the accumulation of genetic mutations that occur over time. [3] [18] CLL is rarely seen in individuals less than 40 years old. [17] Men are more commonly affected than women, although the average lifetime risk for both genders are similar (around 0.5-1%) .
5-fluorouracil has been demonstrated to reduce the viability of neural progenitor cells by 55–70% at concentrations of 1 μM, whereas cancer cell lines exposed to 1 μM of 5-fluorouracil were unaffected. [24] Other chemotherapy agents such as BCNU, cisplatin, and cytarabine also displayed toxicity to progenitor cells in vivo and in vitro. [25]
Small cell lung cancer has a five-year survival rate of 4% according to Cancer Centers of America's Website. [5] The American Cancer Society reports 5-year relative survival rates of over 70% for women with stage 0-III breast cancer with a 5-year relative survival rate close to 100% for women with stage 0 or stage I breast cancer.

Catherine, Princess of Wales, announced she has completed her chemotherapy treatment for cancer. The public learned in March that she had been diagnosed with cancer and was undergoing chemotherapy.
Antineoplastic resistance, often used interchangeably with chemotherapy resistance, is the resistance of neoplastic (cancerous) cells, or the ability of cancer cells to survive and grow despite anti-cancer therapies. [1] In some cases, cancers can evolve resistance to multiple drugs, called multiple drug resistance.
