NK cells are innate immune cells with inherent capabilities in both recognizing and killing
cancer cells. NK cell phenotypes and functional alterations are being described with …

Natural killer (NK) cells are crucial to various facets of human immunity and function through
direct cytotoxicity or via orchestration of the broader immune response. NK cells exist across …

Natural killer (NK) cells belong to the family of innate immune cells with the capacity to
recognize and kill tumor cells. Different phenotypes and functional properties of NK cells …

NK cells are considered an important component of innate immunity, which is the first line of
defensing against tumors and viral infections in the absence of prior sensitization. NK cells …

The functional impairment of natural killer (NK) cells has been frequently reported in cancer
studies. As one of the central components of host anti-tumor immunity, NK cells exert cellular …

Despite evidence of cancer immune-surveillance, which plays a key role in tumor rejection,
cancer cells can escape immune recognition through different mechanisms. Thus, evasion …

Natural killer (NK) cells can swiftly kill multiple adjacent cells if these show surface markers
associated with oncogenic transformation. This property, which is unique among immune …

Gene-engineered immune cell therapies have partially transformed cancer treatment, as
exemplified by the use of chimeric antigen receptor (CAR)-T cells in certain hematologic …

Natural Killer (NK) cells are classically considered innate immune effector cells involved in
the first line of defense against infected and malignant cells. More recently, NK cells have …

Natural killer (NK) cells belong to the innate immune system and are potent cytolytic and
cytokine-producing effector cells in response to tumor targets. NK cell based anti-tumor …
