New UAB research uncovers how NFAT helps uterine NK cells support early placenta development, shedding light on pregnancy health and the roots of complications like preeclampsia.

Scientists in Brazil are refining the design of CAR-engineered immune cells to make them more precise and powerful against cancer.

Restoring the gut microbiota through fecal microbiota transplantation reversed these effects. The treatment replenished CX3CR1-positive NK cells, reduced lung damage, and improved survival. Targeted ...

Researchers have uncovered a potent genetic mechanism that could revolutionize cancer therapy. The immune system naturally generates a molecule known as IL-15, which serves as a defender that triggers ...

French biotech Innate Pharma is recruiting natural-born killers to target B cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma (B-NHL). The company’s tetraspecific antibody controlled tumors and improved survival in mice and ...

Since scientists first discovered that human immune cells could be modified to become cancer-fighting agents, they've been trying to engineer a cell that's effective against solid tumors, which ...

Sepsis and severe pneumonia are frequently accompanied by disruption of the gut microbiota, leading to immune dysfunction and ...

Findings provide a foundation for further exploration of natural killer cells for the development of future treatments and therapies for a range of lung diseases, including chronic obstructive ...

When a rogue cell starts proliferating out of control, the first responders on the scene should be the body’s own immune cells—for example, natural killer (NK) cells, which use toxic molecules to ...
