Scientists at McGill University have found a way to supercharge the immune system’s natural killer (NK) cells, helping them break through the defenses tumors use to stay alive. By temporarily blocking ...

A new review article highlights the powerful influence of long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) in regulating natural killer (NK) cells, revealing promising opportunities to enhance immune responses and ...

“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 ...

Scientists have developed a strategy to enhance the anticancer power of natural killer cells, which are part of the immune ...

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 ...

A research team led by Prof. Wang Yi and Wei Haiming from the University of Science and Technology of China (USTC), in collaboration with Prof. Ding Chen's team from Human Phenome Institute at Fudan ...

Immune cell therapies have transformed the treatment of certain blood cancers over the past decade. However, when it comes to ...

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

B lymphocytes exhibit dual roles in tumorigenesis, acting as both allies and adversaries in the tumor microenvironment (TME). Their anti-tumor functions include recognizing tumor-associated antigens, ...

Natural killer (NK) cells became markedly better at killing cancer cells after scientists removed key gene targets identified through a new genome-wide CRISPR screening tool, according to new research ...
