Receptor engineering has significantly advanced NK cell-based cancer immunotherapies. As technical hurdles are overcome, ...

Singapore scientists have unveiled an AI tool that predicts liver cancer relapse with 82% accuracy, turning pathology slides ...

While some systems and cell types in the human body are well understood, there are still many mysteries and details to be discovered in respect to the immune system. Our knowledge of many immune cell ...

Natural killer (NK) cells are a type of lymphoid cell which function in the innate immune system to remove infected or cancerous self-cells. The innate immune system is the first line of defence ...

W hen a rogue cell starts proliferating out of control, 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 ...

The six-year study focused on cyproheptadine, the active compound in the antihistamine Periactin. Periactin is commonly ...

Natural killer cells represent an important class of immune cells involved in anti-tumor immunity.Once identifying a tumor cell, NK cells use small particles to kill the cancer cell.. Our ...

Natural Killer (NK) cells, lymphocytes of the innate immune system with strong cytotoxic activity, play a major role in the immune response against tumors. However, tumor cells can circumvent this ...

Known as natural killer (NK) cells, their main job is to protect you from cancerous or virus-infected cells. How do they do it? In general, two things must happen before an NK cell attacks a target ...

A natural killer (NK) cell responds to a potential target cell on the basis of a balance between the stimulation of activating and inhibitory receptors. However, it is not clear how and at what ...

Natural killer (NK) cells are white blood cells that can kill tumors without being "told" from the body to do so. NK cells provide the first line of defense against invasion or a virus and are ...
