NK Cells Now Can Attack Solid Tumors | Health and Fitness News
Scientists have engineered natural killer cells to become “tissue-resident” warriors that can infiltrate solid tumors—like melanoma and head and neck cancers—and keep fighting. In mice, these supercharged cells dramatically slowed tumor growth, even when paired with a guiding antibody drug. Unlike current immune therapies that require custom patient-specific production, this “off-the-shelf” approach could be mass-produced and stored, making it faster and more accessible. The breakthrough tackles a major hurdle: solid tumors’ defenses that block immune attacks. With clinical trials now set to…
