Scientists in China have unveiled a breakthrough way to mass-produce powerful cancer-fighting immune cells in the lab. By ...

Researchers expanded millions of cancer-targeting NK cells from a single donor, improving manufacturing for future therapies.

Many patients with metastatic cancers receive therapy that is initially highly effective, often resulting in complete remission. However, cancer cells have a remarkable capacity to evolve resistance ...

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 ...

Scientists report landmark "evolutionary double-bind" strategy to overcome treatment resistance in prostate cancer.

All of us produce a growth factor – called IL-15 – which effectively protects us from cancers. It’s role is to boost the production of immune cells that can rapidly detect and kill cancer cells when ...

Natural killer cells, also referred to as NK cells, play several major roles in the body's defense against cancers like renal cell carcinoma. Natural killer cells, also referred to as NK cells, play ...

Chimeric antigen receptor natural killer (CAR-NK) cell therapy is emerging as a promising next-generation immunotherapy with the potential to overcome key limitations of current chimeric antigen ...

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 ...
