Natural Killers Are Made Not Born: How to Exploit NK Cells in Lung Malignancies
In recent years, progress has been made in the characterization of natural killer (NK) cells in lung malignancies, and we have now gained a better understanding of the frequency, localization, phenotype, and functional status of NK cells infiltrating these tumors. NK cell subset recruited in lung cancer is mainly capable of producing relevant cytokines rather than exerting direct cancer cell ki...

Once thought of as foot soldiers in the body's fight against cancer, natural killer (NK) cells are more akin to special forces in bolstering the immune system to respond to foreign invaders. New studies are revealing that rather than randomly killing cells—as was thought for many years—NK cells are programmed to seek out specific targets on cancer cells.

متن کاملWhat Fuels Natural Killers? Metabolism and NK Cell Responses
There is a growing appreciation that cellular metabolism is important in determining the course of lymphocyte responses. Additionally, changes in metabolic processes have been linked to dysfunctional lymphocyte functions in a number of different diseases. While most early studies of metabolic regulation of lymphocyte function focused on T lymphocytes, an understanding of how metabolic pathways ...
