Researchers have made a breakthrough in cancer treatment by harnessing the disease-destroying abilities of the body’s natural killer cells. Their novel nanodrones selectively target a tumor, enabling ...

Early results from the ongoing QUILT-106 clinical trial (NCT06334991) show that the treatment combination of CD19 chimeric antigen receptor natural killer (CAR-NK) cells with rituximab (Rituxan) can ...

These findings suggest that KIR2DS2-positive (KIR2DS2+) natural killer (NK) cells could be an attractive therapeutic target for in vivo strategies, although enhanced effector function is lost during ...

Chimeric antigen receptor natural killer (CAR-NK) cell therapy is emerging as a promising next-generation immunotherapy with the potential to overcome key limitations of current chimeric antigen ...

Natural killer (NK) cells are pivotal in the innate immune response against cancer and viral infections, with their presence in tumors correlating to better patient outcomes in various cancers.

In a recent review published in the journal Nature, researchers collated available publications on natural killer (NK) cells – innate immune cells involved in recognizing and eliminating cells in ...

One of the newest weapons that scientists have developed against cancer is a type of engineered immune cell known as CAR-NK (natural killer) cells. Similar to CAR-T cells, these cells can be ...

Of 7 subtypes identified 10,000 melanoma cells, C4 Melanoma COCO1A was the only to show indications of being more sensitive to natural killer (NK) and T cells. A certain type of melanoma may be more ...

Top experts have developed new 'natural killer' cells to fight off cancer and lower the risk of disastrous immune effects. Researchers at Harvard Medical School and the Massachusetts Institute of ...

Unlike cytotoxic T cells, natural killer (NK) cells attack cancerous cells without deliberate activation. This may give natural killer cells an advantage when paired with chimeric antigen receptor ...
