CAR-NK cells

CAR-NK cells are immune cells called natural killer (NK) cells that are genetically modified to better recognize and attack cancer cells. They are engineered to display a special receptor, known as a Chimeric Antigen Receptor (CAR), which targets specific molecules found on cancer cells. This customization helps NK cells identify and destroy tumors more effectively while lowering the risk of harm to healthy cells. CAR-NK cell therapy offers a promising, targeted approach to cancer treatment, with potential advantages such as reduced side effects and the ability to produce off-the-shelf therapies for patients.
