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 ...

For years, chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T cell therapies have led the way in cell-based immunotherapy, offering hope to many patients with certain blood cancers. But now, researchers believe the ...

Natural killer (NK) cells engineered to express interleukin-21 (IL-21) demonstrated sustained antitumor activity against glioblastoma stem cell-like cells (GSCs) both in vitro and in vivo, according ...

MIT and Harvard scientists have designed an advanced type of immune cell called a CAR-NK cell that can destroy cancer while avoiding attack from the body’s own immune defenses. This innovation could ...

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 ...

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 ...

ANKL is a rare and aggressive type of blood cancer affecting a type of white blood cell called natural killer (NK) cells. In ANKL, the NK cells are abnormal and multiply out of control, crowding out ...

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 ...

Fasting for 24 hours twice a week boosts the cancer-fighting abilities of specific immune cells called natural killer cells, according to a new study. The findings open up a number of options for ...
