The tumor microenvironment is highly complex, and immune escape is currently considered
an important hallmark of cancer, largely contributing to tumor progression and metastasis …

Natural killer (NK) cells are innate lymphoid cells that hold tremendous potential for effective
immunotherapy for a broad range of cancers. Due to the mode of NK cell killing, requiring …

Natural killer (NK) cells play an important role in the innate immune response against
cancer, in particular in the elimination of tumor metastases and small tumors. NK cell …

Natural killer (NK) cells were discovered 40 years ago, by their ability to recognize and kill
tumor cells without the requirement of prior antigen exposure. Since then, NK cells have …

Natural killer (NK) cells are the key immune effectors with the ability to mediate selection and
differentiation of a number of different cancer stem cells/undifferentiated tumors via lysis, and …

Natural killer (NK) cells are innate lymphoid cells endowed with cytolytic activity and a
capacity to secrete cytokines and chemokines. Several lines of evidence suggest that NK …

Natural killer (NK) cells and natural killer T (NKT) cells are subsets of lymphocytes that share
some phenotypical and functional similarities. Both cell types can rapidly respond to the …

Natural killer (NK) cells lead immune surveillance against cancer and early elimination of
small tumors. Owing to their ability to engage tumor targets without the need of specific …

As our understanding of the molecular mechanisms governing natural killer (NK) cell activity
increases, their potential in cancer immunotherapy is growing increasingly prominent. This …

Natural killer (NK) cells are innate immune cells that show strong cytolytic function against
physiologically stressed cells such as tumor cells and virus-infected cells. NK cells show a …
