#3d'organoids'grown from patient tumors could personalize drug screening Three-dimensional cultures (or'organoids')derived from the tumors of cancer patients closely replicate key properties of the original tumors,

These'organoid'cultures are amenable to large-scale drug screens for the detection of genetic changes associated with drug sensitivity

In recent years, scientists have developed organoid cell culture systems as an alternative approach to grow normal and diseased tissue in a dish.

whether these cultures could potentially bridge the gap between cancer genetics and patient outcomes. In the new study, the researchers grew 22 organoids derived from tumor tissue from 20 patients with colorectal cancer

and then sequenced genomic DNA isolated from these cultures. The genetic mutations in the organoid cultures closely matched those in the corresponding tumor biopsies and agreed well with previous large-scale analyses of colorectal cancer mutations.

These findings confirm that the cultures faithfully capture the genomic features of the tumors from

which they are derived as well as much of the genomic diversity associated with colorectal cancer. To link drug sensitivity to genetic changes,

Then they challenged these cultures with the parasite E. histolytica.""We do this all the time in cancer research,

E. histolytica decimated many thousands of these independent cell cultures. However, a small number of cells seemed to resist the parasite.

Over these generations of selection, we saw the cultures becoming more and more enriched for cells lacking specific genes."
