Researchers discover how body’s natural killer cells protects from cancer

Scientists at the University of Southampton have made a groundbreaking discovery in cancer research, unveiling how the body's natural killer cells can identify and target cancer cells. This finding could lead to new, less invasive treatments for various types of cancer. The study, published in the Science Advances journal, reveals that natural killer cells, a key component of the human immune system, have an innate ability to recognize and attack a protein called XPO1, which is known to promote...
