Aneuploidy Enables Cross-Adaptation to Unrelated Drugs

Abstract excerpt

Aneuploidy is common both in tumor cells responding to chemotherapeutic agents and in fungal cells adapting to antifungal drugs. Because aneuploidy simultaneously affects many genes, it has the potential to confer multiple phenotypes to the same cells. Here, we analyzed the mechanisms by which Candida albicans, the most prevalent human fungal pathogen, acquires the ability to survive both chemotherapeutic agents...
