Natural killer (NK) cells, the prototypic member of innate lymphoid cells, are important
effectors of anticancer immune response. These cells can survey and control tumor initiation …

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 …

Natural killer (NK) cells are central components of the innate immunity. In murine models, it
has been shown that NK cells can control both local tumor growth and metastasis due to …

Natural killer (NK) cells play indispensable roles in innate immune responses against tumor
progression. To depict their phenotypic and functional diversities in the tumor …

Natural killer (NK) cells are crucial to various facets of human immunity and function through
direct cytotoxicity or via orchestration of the broader immune response. NK cells exist across …

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 …

An emerging cellular immunotherapy for cancer is based on the cytolytic activity of natural
killer (NK) cells against a wide range of tumors. Although in vitro activation, or “priming,” of …

The functional impairment of natural killer (NK) cells has been frequently reported in cancer
studies. As one of the central components of host anti-tumor immunity, NK cells exert cellular …

Natural killer (NK) cells are endowed with germline-encoded receptors that enable them to
detect and kill malignant cells without prior priming. Over the years, overwhelming evidence …
