In students with trouble sleeping, there was also a link between higher anxiety and lower NK cell levels. This means that ...

Natural Killer (NK) cells are vital immune defenders that target and destroy cancer cells. However, in aging and cancer patients, NK cells often become "senescent"—losing their effectiveness due to ...

Researchers have uncovered a unique ability of a special subtype of natural killer cells in the immune system, called adaptive NK cells, to remember ovarian tumors and effectively attack them. The ...

Scientists are on the verge of a cancer breakthrough after working out how the body's immune system targets cells devastated by the disease. A new study has discovered that our natural killer cells, ...
