A review discussing the therapeutic potentials of NK cell biology has been published in the journal Frontiers of Medicine.

But T-cells aren't the only option for cell therapy. Promising work is being done with natural killer, or NK cells, a different kind of immune system cell that could work even better in some ways.

For solid tumors and hematological malignancies, CAR-NK cell treatment is a novel kind of cancer immunotherapy. CAR-NK cells work by killing cancer cells in a CAR-dependent way. CAR-NK cells and ...

DelveInsight’s, “NK Cell Therapy Pipeline Insight 2024” report provides comprehensive insights about 100+ companies and 185+ pipeline drugs in the NK Cell Therapy pipeline landscape.

“That could really reduce the cost of therapy and provide a readily available off-the-shelf treatment.” For a source of NK cells, Rezvani turned to umbilical-cord blood. This source provides a ...

Cytovia Therapeutics is uniquely positioned to deliver on the therapeutic promise through its plug-and-play cell therapy platform and complementary bispecific NK cell engagers. NK cells readily ...

such as therapy induced side effects. CARNK cells exhibit higher cytolytic activity than memory T cells and untransduced NK cells; thus, being more effective in killing tumor cells. Currently, over ...

NK cells recognize cell-bound antibodies via CD16A (FcγRIIIA) to mediate antibody-dependent cellular cytotoxicity (ADCC). Potentiating therapeutic mAb-mediated CD16 activation of NK cells is an ...

The researchers tested this using tissue samples from patients with esophageal cancer who had received ICI therapy. Those patients who had not responded to ICI had a higher number of NK cells in ...

The first clinical program to go over involves the use of ImmunityBio's CAR-NK cell therapy CD19 t-haNK, which is being tested in the ongoing phase 1 QUILT 106 study. As I alluded to above ...

NK cell therapy is gaining momentum as a promising solution to unmet medical needs in cancer treatment, offering safer, targeted options for patients unresponsive to traditional therapies. Increased R ...
