Integrated genome and tissue engineering enables screening of cancer vulnerabilities in physiologically relevant perfusable ex vivo cultures.
Article in Biomaterials, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Genetic screens are powerful tools for both resolving biological function and identifying potential therapeutic targets, but require physiologically accurate systems to glean biologically useful information. Here, we enable genetic screens in physiologically relevant ex vivo cancer tissue models by integrating CRISPR-Cas-based genome engineering and biofabrication technologies. We first present a novel method for generating perfusable tissue constructs, and validate its functionality by using it to generate three-dimensional perfusable dense cultures of cancer cell lines and sustain otherwise ex vivo unculturable patient-derived xenografts. Using this system we enable large-scale CRISPR screens in perfused tissue cultures, as well as emulate a novel point-of-care diagnostics scenario of a clinically actionable CRISPR knockout (CRISPRko) screen of genes with FDA-approved drug treatments in ex vivo PDX cell cultures. Our results reveal differences across in vitro and in vivo cancer model systems, and highlight the utility of programmable tissue engineered models for screening therapeutically relevant cancer vulnerabilities.
