Story summary
  • CAR-NK cell therapy shows potential against solid tumors, per Katy Rezvani, MD, PhD, of MD Anderson Cancer Center.
  • Her work aims to enhance NK cells to overcome microenvironment challenges.
  • A CRISPR screen found edits that boost NK cell resilience in hypoxia, acidity, and immunosuppression.
  • Some regulators overlap CAR T cell function; others are NK-specific, and multi-gene targeting may improve efficacy.
