Rapid functional impairment of natural killer cells following tumor entry limits anti-tumor immunity

Abstract Immune cell dysfunction within the tumor microenvironment (TME) undermines the control of cancer progression. Established tumors contain phenotypically distinct, tumor-specific natural killer (NK) cells; however, the temporal dynamics, mechanistic underpinning and functional significance of...
