Genome-wide CRISPR screen identifies ELP5 as a determinant of gemcitabine sensitivity in gallbladder cancer

Gemcitabine is used to treat gallbaldder cancer but patient responses are variable. Here, the authors use a genome-wide CRISPR screen and identify the translational elongator protein ELP5 as a protein that is important for mediating gemcitabine-induced apoptosis.
