Tissue localization of natural killer cells dictates surveillance of lung metastasis - Nature Communications
Many cancers metastasize to the lungs, yet immune cells rarely succeed in eliminating them. Here we show that although NK cells that patrol the lung vasculature are highly differentiated and cytotoxic...
