Background: Natural Killer (NK) cells have crucial roles in immune responses against
malignant transformation including hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). The NKG2D receptor …

Background Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is common, but remains difficult to treat.
Natural killer (NK) cells are cells of the innate immune system that have potent anti-cancer …

Background: one of the promising approaches for treatment of some cancers is adoptive cell
therapy using natural killer (NK) cells. Various methods have been investigated for ex vivo …

against many types of infections. These cells are enriched in the liver, where they comprise …

The mechanisms linking hepatitis B virus (HBV) and hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection to
hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) remain largely unknown. Natural killer (NK) cells account …
