3-o-sulfo-galactosylceramide Analogs as Activators of Type II Natural Killer T (NKT) Cells to Reduce Cancer Metastasis to the Lung
Abstract: Lung metastases are a sign of widespread cancer with poor survival rate. Lung malignancies can originate from almost any cancer type spread via the blood stream. Most common lung metastases are from melanoma, breast cancer, bladder cancer, colon cancer, prostate cancer, neuroblastoma, and sarcoma. Living more than 5 years with lung metastases...

Therapeutic Nanoparticles for Non-Viral Drug Delivery to Natural Killer Cells
Transfects Natural Killer Cells Without the Use of VirusesThese nanoparticles enable the delivery of nucleic acids or drugs to immunosuppressed natural killer (NK) cells to restore their cytotoxic functions in tumor microenvironments. Globally, cancer causes one of every six deaths, with the number of new cases expected to rise to 23.6 million per year...
