Natural killer (NK) cells are set to transform the treatment of cancer. NK cells have innate advantages over T cells that translate into superior safety and efficacy, but researchers will need to ...

the first responders on the scene should be the body’s own immune cells—for example, natural killer (NK) cells, which use toxic molecules to dissolve foreign cells. Ideally, proteins that are specific ...

Natural killer (NK) cells act as an important defense against malignancy through their ability to inhibit tumor metastases and destroy solid tumors and hematopoietic tumors. In addition natural killer ...

Scientists have discovered that electrical currents may make natural killer (NK) cells—our very own cancer-killing immune cells—even better killers, which could have significant implications ...

Clinical relevance: Receptor engineering has significantly advanced NK cell-based cancer immunotherapies. As technical ...

NK (natural killer) cells are a population of lymphocytes with both innate and adaptive immune features. They produce cytotoxic molecules and can eliminate infected cells or cancer cells.

Natural killer (NK) cells engineered to express interleukin-21 (IL-21) demonstrated sustained antitumor activity against glioblastoma stem cell-like cells (GSCs) both in vitro and in vivo ...

Natural killer (NK) cells are cytotoxic, innate, lymphoid immune cells that can kill malignant cells without the need for HLA matching, making them appealing in the ever-growing cancer cell therapy ...

One such effector cell in the antiviral response is the Natural Killer (NK) cell, which secretes inflammatory cytokines and directly kills infected cells. The focus of our research is aimed at ...

One of the lead candidates in Sanofi natural killer (NK) cell engager alliance with Innate Pharma has shown encouraging and durable efficacy in various haematological cancers, according to a phase ...

Antigen specificity is the central trait distinguishing adaptive from innate immune function. Assembly of antigen-specific T cell and B cell receptors occurs through V(D)J recombination mediated by ...

A solar cell is made of two types of semiconductors, called p-type and n-type silicon. The p-type silicon is produced by adding atoms—such as boron or gallium—that have one less electron in their ...
