But the terminology can be confusing: NK cells, NKT cells, CAR-NK cells\u2014which therapy suits your condition? Our Bangkok regenerative clinic breaks down the science into actionable insights.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Understanding Natural Killer (NK) Cells<\/h2>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">NK cells are your body&#8217;s first-line defense against cancer and viruses. Unlike T-cells, NK cells don&#8217;t require prior sensitization\u2014they instantly recognize and destroy abnormal cells.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Key Functions:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Direct cytotoxicity via perforin and granzyme release<\/li>\n<li>Antibody-dependent cellular cytotoxicity (ADCC)<\/li>\n<li>Cytokine production for immune coordination<\/li>\n<li>Memory-like properties (discovered in 2023)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2024 Breakthrough: CAR-NK Cells<\/h2>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Stanford research (published January 2024) shows CAR-NK cells derived from cord blood demonstrate 73% complete remission in lymphoma patients without the cytokine release syndrome seen in CAR-T therapy. Our Bangkok clinic has partnered with Korean biotech firms to offer this next-generation therapy.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What Are NKT Cells?<\/h2>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Natural Killer T-cells are the hybrid warriors\u2014part innate, part adaptive immunity.
