Spannr / Glossary / Natural killer (NK) cells

Natural killer (NK) cells

NK cells are immune cells with the ability to kill tumor cells and other cells infected with a virus. They are equipped with receptors to effectively identify stressed cells for elimination, while simultaneously avoiding the targeting of healthy cells.

So far, commercialization of NK cell therapies has been hindered by the ability to scale the production of mature NK cells effectively.

Caloric Restriction

Caloric Restriction is the act of purposefully limiting food intake without causing malnutrition.
