Natural killer cells may offer a better cancer treatment than car t researchers are looking at harnessing so called natural killer cells to attack cancer in a way that may be more effective.
The application of natural killer cell immunotherapy for the treatment of cancer.
Natural killer nk cells are innate immune cells endowed with potent cytolytic activity against tumors and meanwhile act as regulatory cells for the immune system.
Despite reports of clinical efficacy a number of factors limit the application of nk cell immunotherapy for the treatment of cancer such as the failure of infused nk cells to expand and persist.
Engineering natural killer cells for cancer immunotherapy the past several years have seen tremendous advances in the engineering of immune effector cells as therapy for cancer.
