Better Together: Spatial Arrangement of Three Immune Cells Is Key to Attacking Tumors

In order for immune cells to effectively kill cancer cells, a triad of three cells are necessary — a dendritic cell, a cytotoxic “killer” T cell, and a helper T cell, researchers at MSK and Baylor College of Medicine have found. The discovery could alter the way doctors administer immunotherapies.

Fasting Primes the Immune System’s Natural Killer Cells to Better Fight Cancer, New Study in Mice Finds

Animal model research from MSK has shown for the first time that fasting can reprogram the metabolism of natural killer cells, helping them to survive in the harsh environment in and around tumors, while also improving their cancer-fighting ability.
