NK cells expressing interleukin-21 show promising antitumor activity in glioblastoma cells
Natural killer (NK) cells engineered to express interleukin-21 (IL-21) demonstrated sustained antitumor activity against glioblastoma stem cell-like cells (GSCs) both in vitro and in vivo, according to new research from The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center.
The preclinical findings, published today in Cancer Cell, represent the first evidence that engineering NK cells, a type of innate immune cell, to secrete...
