Natural killer cells remember and effectively target ovarian cancer, researchers discover

Researchers at Karolinska Institutet 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 discovery, published in Cancer Immunology Research, could pave the way for new, more powerful immunotherapies for difficult-to-treat cancers. The paper is titled "Adaptive NK Cells Exhibit Tumour-Specific Immune Memory and Cytotoxicity in Ovarian Cancer."
