Regenerative Medicine – Immune Cell Therapy (NK Cells)

What are NK cells

What are NK cells

The human body has ~37 trillion cells. Cells divide daily to keep us healthy,
but replication errors (mutations) can create abnormal cells—the roots of cancer—by the thousands each day.
Aging-related genetic changes, hormonal shifts, stress, carcinogens, and infections due to lowered immunity can all contribute to cancer.

免疫细胞的活性与癌症发生率

NK cells patrol the body and, upon detecting cancerous or virus-infected cells, attack and eliminate them with strong cytotoxicity. Activated NK cells can recognize and attack cancer cells with ~60% efficiency.

​ ​What is immune cell therapy

Cancer immunotherapy enhances the patient’s own immune cells to increase anti-cancer activity and suppress tumors. Immune cells are collected from blood, expanded and activated ex vivo, then reinfused.

​ Decline and depletion of stem cells are major drivers of human aging

Are wrinkles and gray hair the only signs of aging? In fact, organ decline begins before outward changes appear. Studies suggest average healthy adults have ~80% organ function at age 40 and ~70% at 50; with age, decline accelerates, leaving only ~35% by age 70.

随着年龄增长，器官功能衰退越快

When stem cells decrease or lose function, repair capacity drops, leading to persistent diseases; timely repair prevents or hastens recovery.

​ ​Who may benefit from NK cell therapy

・ Those seeking to boost immunity
・Those wanting to prevent colds and flu
・Those seeking COVID-19 prevention or adjunct treatment
・Those seeking cancer prevention or adjunct therapy
​・Those prone to fatigue
​・Those under significant mental or physical stress

What are NK cells

NK-cell therapy expands and activates one’s own NK cells before reinfusion. Because autologous cells are used, serious side effects such as rejection or allergies are rare, making it suitable even for older adults.
