“In their paper published today in Nature Immunology, they showed that when the brake was removed in an experimental model, the NK cells were better able to protect the body against metastatic melanoma.
The researchers identified a protein 'brake' within Natural Killer cells that controls their ability to destroy their target tumour cells.”
