#Researchers in #China have a #published a #study which they say opens up new strategies to boost the body’s first line of defence against #cancer & other diseases.
While the #immune system’s natural killer (NK) cells can recognise & kill #tumours and #virus infected cells at a very early stage, most advanced-stage #tumorous cells somehow manage to avoid detection.
