A Brief Analysis of Tissue-Resident NK Cells in Pregnancy and Endometrial Diseases: The Importance of Pharmacologic Modulation

open access: yesImmuno, 2021
NK cells are lymphocytes involved in the innate and adaptative immune response. These cells are located in peripheral blood and tissues with ample functions, from immune vigilant to tolerogenic reactions.

NK Cells and Cancer [PDF]

open access: yesThe Journal of Immunology, 2007
Abstract In this review, we overview the main features and functions of NK cells, focusing on their role in cell-mediated immune response to tumor cells. In parallel, we discuss the information available in the field of NK cell receptors and offer a wide general overview of functional aspects of cell targeting and killing, focusing on ...

g-NK cells from umbilical cord blood are phenotypically and functionally different than g-NK cells from peripheral blood

open access: yesOncoImmunology, 2023
FcRγ-deficient natural killer (NK) cells, designated as g-NK cells, exhibit enhanced antibody-dependent cellular cytotoxicity (ADCC) capacity and increased IFN-γ and TNF-α production, rendering them promising for antiviral and antitumor responses.

Umbilical cord blood as a promising source of NK cells for immunotherapy

open access: yesМедицинская иммунология, 2023
Currently, a large number of studies on genetic modification of cord blood NK cells (UCB-NK) are carried out at both clinical and preclinical levels. Immunotherapy based on UCB-NK cells has great potential for antitumor therapy.

CAM and NK Cells [PDF]

open access: yesEvidence-Based Complementary and Alternative Medicine, 2004
It is believed that tumor development, outgrowth and metastasis are under the surveillance of the immune system. Although both innate and acquired immune systems play roles, innate immunity is the spearhead against tumors. Recent studies have revealed the critical role of natural killer (NK) cells in immune surveillance and that NK cell activity is ...

Natural killer cells-related immune traits and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis: A Mendelian randomization study

open access: yesFrontiers in Neuroscience, 2022
BackgroundObservational studies have suggested that peripheral immune disorders are associated with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). Previous studies predominantly focused on changes in adaptive immunity.
