Patrick Soon-Shiong highlights the role of NK cells in cancer defense

Patrick Soon-Shiong, a prominent figure in medical research, recently emphasized the pivotal role of natural killer (NK) cells in combating cancer and infection.
These cellular 'first responders' are key to the body's innate ability to fight disease. Soon-Shiong's reference to the 'Cancer Bioshield' further underscores this approach, positioning the body itself as a factory designed to protect and sustain essential immune functions. This concept aligns with ongoing efforts in immunotherapy and personalized medicine, aimed at harnessing the body's natural defenses in the war against cancer.
For more details, Soon-Shiong has encouraged reading an article published today, accessible via his tweet.
