What's your concern when it comes to cancer treatment? While most treatments focus on the aftermath, your body has an innate "First Responder" system. The natural killer cells - they don't need a warning; they just act. Discover why NK cells are the MVP of your immune system’s defense against tumors.

Zinc plays a central role in the #immunesystem, & #zinc #deficient people experience increased #susceptibility to a variety of #pathogens. It is clear that zinc affects multiple aspects of the #immune system, from the barrier of the #skin to #generegulation within #lymphocytes. Zinc is crucial for normal #development & #function of cells mediating nonspecific #immunity such as #neutrophils and #naturalkillercells.

A ganglioside-based immune checkpoint enables senescent cells to evade immunosurveillance during aging - Nature Aging

This study identifies a novel immune checkpoint in senescent cells that is linked to the ganglioside GD3 and that contributes to the evasion of immune clearance by these cells and to aging and age-related diseases.

Natural killer cells are immune cells that can destroy cancer cells without prior activation. They are being studied as a promising cancer therapy tool, alone or in combination with other treatments. They could also help prevent cancer recurrence and metastasis.

Killing is their job: Two studies analyze natural killer cells as they tackle the worst form of malaria

Scientists are unraveling the complex mystery underlying how the immune system mounts a potent defense against one of the world's most relentless killers—the deadly parasites that cause the worst form of malaria.

'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.'
