Scientists have developed a strategy to boost the cancer-fighting power of natural killer (NK) cells, part of the immune system's first line of defense.

The immune system is made up of various cells that combat disease. Each cell plays a pivotal role in mediating infection to ...

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 ...

“While recent single-cell multiomics studies and CRISPR screens in murine NK cells have expanded our understanding, actionable genomic targets in primary human NK cells have remained largely ...

Cancer is one of the most serious health challenges in the world today. It happens when some cells in the body grow out of ...

Cancer remains one of the most difficult diseases to treat, and for many patients, the journey can be long and uncertain.

VIB-VUB researchers have developed a patient-relevant lung adenocarcinoma model combined with SEPARATE-Seq technology to ...

Research, headed by teams at Trinity College Dublin and University College Dublin, has uncovered how lipid-rich fluid in the abdomen, known as ascites, plays a central role in weakening the body’s ...

In a study that further corroborated these observations, scientists found that cyclic fasting in mice improved their antitumor responses mediated by natural killer (NK) cells. 4 The results, published ...
