Natural Killer (NK) Cells FAQs
What are Natural Killer (NK) Cells and how do they work? Natural Killer (NK) Cells are a type of immune cell that plays a key role in the body's defense system by identifying and destroying abnormal cells, such as virus-infected or cancerous cells. They are part of the body's natural immune response and help maintain overall health by detecting and eliminating threats before they can cause harm. How are NK Cells used in regenerative medicine at LMI? At LMI, NK Cells are used to enhance the body's immune response, particularly for patients with compromised immune systems or those recovering from illnesses. NK Cell therapy is designed to boost the body's ability to fight infections, target abnormal cells, and support overall wellness, making it a powerful complement to regenerative treatments. Why are Natural Killer (NK) cells sourced from cord blood? Cord blood is a highly valuable source for Natural Killer (NK) cells because it contains young, potent immune cells with robust cytotoxic activity. NK cells derived from cord blood are more effective due to their immaturity and greater capacity for expansion and activation. These cells are less likely to trigger adverse immune reactions, making them ideal for therapeutic applications. Are cord blood-derived NK cells safe and effective? Yes, NK cells sourced from cord blood are considered safe and effective. Their natural immunomodulatory and cytotoxic properties allow them to target infected or abnormal cells, such as cancerous cells, while leaving healthy tissues unaffected. The process of sourcing and preparing these cells is tightly controlled to ensure their safety, purity, and potency for therapeutic use.
