Next-generation cell therapies: the emerging role of CAR-NK cells

Next-generation cell therapies: the emerging role of CAR-NK cells Receptors in Detail Summary T cells with chimeric antigen receptors (CARs) have transformed cell therapy and shifted the treatment paradigm for many patients with recurrent or refractory B-cell malignancies. Despite this advancement, CAR-T cell treatment has limits in both autologous and allogeneic contexts, including practical, logistical, […]

Chimeric antigen receptor natural killer (CAR-NK) cell design and engineering for cancer therapy

Chimeric antigen receptor natural killer (CAR-NK) cell design and engineering for cancer therapy Summary Natural killer (NK) cells are specialized immune cells that can be genetically manipulated to produce capable effector cells for adoptive cellular therapy of cancer patients due to their rapid detection and lysis of malignant cells. However, biological and technical barriers to […]
