Killer instincts: natural killer cells as multifactorial cancer immunotherapy
Frontiers in Immunology, 2023 Natural killer (NK) cells integrate heterogeneous signals for activation and inhibition using germline-encoded receptors. These receptors are stochastically co-expressed, and their concurrent engagement and signaling can adjust the sensitivity of ...

Bortezomib Augments Natural Killer Cell Targeting of Stem-Like Tumor Cells. [PDF]
, 2019 Tumor cells harboring stem-like/cancer stem cell (CSC) properties have been identified and isolated from numerous hematological and solid malignancies.

Invariant NKT cells contribute to chronic lymphocytic leukemia surveillance and prognosis [PDF]
, 2017 Chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) is characterized by the expansion of malignant CD5(+) B lymphocytes in blood, bone marrow and lymphoid organs. CD1d-restricted invariant Natural Killer T (iNKT) cells are innate-like T lymphocytes strongly implicated in

Fasting enhances TRAIL-mediated liver natural killer cell activity via HSP70 upregulation.
PLoS ONE, 2014 Acute starvation, which is frequently observed in clinical practice, sometimes augments the cytolytic activity of natural killer cells against neoplastic cells. In this study, we investigated the molecular mechanisms underlying the enhancement of natural

Unraveling Natural Killer T-Cells Development
Frontiers in Immunology, 2018 Natural killer T-cells are a subset of innate-like T-cells with the ability to bridge innate and adaptive immunity. There is great interest in harnessing these cells to improve tumor therapy; however, greater understanding of invariant NKT (iNKT) cell ...

Natural killer cell-mediated immunopathology in recurrent pregnancy losses
Exploration of Immunology, 2022 Natural killer (NK) cells have a dual role in human reproduction for maternal-fetal tolerance and protection from infection. During the ovarian cycle and pregnancy, peripheral NK (pNK) and uterine NK (uNK) cells dynamically change their proportions and ...

Highly activated and expanded natural killer cells for multiple myeloma immunotherapy
Haematologica, 2012 Background Patients with gene expression profiling-defined high-risk myeloma in relapse have poor outcomes with current therapies. We tested whether natural killer cells expanded by co-culture with K562 cells transfected with 41BBL and membrane-bound ...

Reduced NK cell IFN-γ secretion and psychological stress are independently associated with herpes zoster. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2018 The pathogenesis of herpes zoster is closely linked to reduced varicella-zoster virus-specific cell-mediated immunity. However, little is known about the interplay between natural killer cells and psychological stress in the pathogenesis of herpes zoster.

Signal processing in slit-scan flow cytometry of cell conjugates [PDF]
, 1993 The design and implementation of a real-time signal processing system for slit-scan flow cytometry is described. The system is used to measure the separate scatter and fluorescence peak heights of 2 adherent cells.
