Natural killer cell deficiency should be considered in patients susceptible to herpes virus or papillomavirus with persistently decreased NK cell function.

Technological advances empower the modification of NK cells and renewed potential for therapeutic uses in cancer and ...

Researchers have uncovered a surprising mechanism by which a single genetic mutation in the BCL11B gene causes both immune dysfunction and brain development issues.

Another type of killer cell that is now also being used are the so-called natural killer cells (NK). Rather than recognizing malignant cells by certain antigens, they rely on other surface anomalies.

Creating cancer therapies based around natural killer cells could offer similar levels of efficacy to CAR-T therapies, but at around one hundredth of the cost. Researchers at MD Anderson Cancer ...

Natural killer cells are another type of lymphocyte that can destroy pathogens and abnormal cells without prior exposure to them. “Natural killers are a really useful cell that goes around ...

A novel cell therapy approach using cord blood-derived natural killer (NK) cells pre-complexed with AFM13, or acimtamig, a CD30/CD16A bispecific antibody, was safe and generated strong response ...

Among other functions, the NK cells (Natural Killers, a type of lymphocyte forming part of the immune system) have the capacity to detect and eliminate cancer cells. But in some cases they cannot ...
