Scientists in Brazil are refining the design of CAR-engineered immune cells to make them more precise and powerful against cancer.

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 ...

Since scientists first discovered that human immune cells could be modified to become cancer-fighting agents, they've been trying to engineer a cell that's effective against solid tumors, which ...

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 ...

Restoring the gut microbiota through fecal microbiota transplantation reversed these effects. The treatment replenished CX3CR1-positive NK cells, reduced lung damage, and improved survival. Targeted ...

Researchers at the Ribeirao Preto Blood Center and the Center for Cell-Based Therapy (CTC) conducted a study using the NK-92 ...

Researchers at Karolinska Institutet have uncovered a unique ability of a special subtype of natural killer cells in the immune system, called adaptive NK cells, to remember ovarian tumors and ...

CAMBRIDGE, MA -- 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 ...

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 ...
