Illustration of genetically engineered natural killer (NK) cells (green) with chimeric antigen receptors (CARs) on their surface moving towards and a malignant (cancerous) myeloma cell (blue). CAR-NK therapy is a type of immunotherapy that genetically modifies a patient's own natural killer cells to recognise and destroy cancer cells. Natural killer cells can attack malignant cells without priming or prior activation and so are a promising NK-based immunotherapy.
