  1. NK cells have a major role in the #tumor #microenvironment, but what do they do in #hepatocellular #carcinoma (HCC)? This study shows that MBL2 secreted by #HCC cells activates #NKcells via integrin β1–FAK–AKT signaling & reshapes the microenvironment @PLOSBiology plos.io/3PxgnHg

  6. More isn’t always better, precision is. Understanding dosage in immunotherapy is complex. We’re breaking down the science of cell counts and how we determine the specific strength needed to target your unique case at Cancer Killer Cells.

  11. The hardest part of beating cancer is the fear of it coming back. Learn how "Immune Surveillance" via NK cells acts as a 24/7 security system to mop up micro-metastases before they turn into a relapse. Here is the science behind reducing recurrence risk.

  12. Perforin is the substance T and NK cells use to drill into an infected cell and kill it. Selin and Gill’s studies suggest that ME/CFS and long-COVID patients’ T cells produce almost no perforin

    healthrising.org/wp-content/up

    [alt text: graphs of perforin in two classes of cell. The healthy controls are tall grey bars, compared to 1/10 to 1/3 as tall bars for Long COVID and ME/CFS groups.]

    they also found

    a huge increase in a distinct type of T-cell called double-positive T-cell (CD4+ CD8+) in people with ME/CFS and/or long COVID. Instead of being differentiated into the two usual major T-cell subsets CD4 (helper/regulatory) and CD8 (killer) T-cells, these hybrid T-cells look like both CD4 and CD8 T-cells at the same time.

    Selin found that these cells increased 8-9 fold in ME/CFS and long-COVID patients.

    which compensates in part for the lower perforin, but also led to

    a “highly dysregulated” cytotoxic T-cell immune response [...] That suggested that the immune system was kind of flailing around, trying to come up with an answer.

    While the #immune system’s natural killer (NK) cells can recognise & kill #tumours and #virus infected cells at a very early stage, most advanced-stage #tumorous cells somehow manage to avoid detection.

  27. 'Here, Thacker et al. demonstrated that Socs3highCD11b–CD27– immature NK cells were present in samples from patients with triple negative breast cancer (TNBC) and correlated with worse prognosis. The authors further showed that this population of NK cells promoted, rather than inhibited, tumor progression in mice.'

  31. "Here, we have identified a population of innate lymphocytes that we term tissue-resident memory-like natural killer (NKRM) cells. In response to murine cytomegalovirus infection, we show that circulating NK cells were recruited in a CX3CR1-dependent manner to the salivary glands where they formed NKRM cells, a long-lived, tissue-resident population that prevented autoimmunity via TRAIL-dependent elimination of CD4+ T cells."
