Aurora kinase A drives the evolution of resistance to third-generation EGFR inhibitors in lung cancer. [PDF]
Although targeted therapies often elicit profound initial patient responses, these effects are transient due to residual disease leading to acquired resistance.

Rv1453 is associated with clofazimine resistance in Mycobacterium tuberculosis
Clofazimine (CFZ) has been repurposed for treating tuberculosis (TB), especially multidrug-resistant tuberculosis (MDR-TB). However, the mechanisms of resistance to clofazimine are poorly understood.

Resisting Bacterial Drug Resistance [PDF]
In this issue of Chemistry & Biology, Wright and colleagues report an elegant method for inhibiting enzymes critical for rendering bacteria drug resistant. By using cationic peptides as inhibitors, the authors have exploited two antibacterial mechanisms, making it doubly difficult for microbial retaliation.
