GEN: The Body’s Delta Force: Natural Killer Cells Re-Emerge

In a new feature published by GEN (Genetic Engineering & Biotechnology News), natural killer (NK) cells are in the spotlight showcasing their potential as the next generation of immunotherapies. This article explores how scientific and technological advances are helping cell therapy developers harness NK cells to expand the reach of cell therapy beyond oncology and into chronic and autoimmune conditions.

Artiva Biotherapeutics is recognized as being among the companies pioneering this approach. As GEN notes, Artiva focuses on leveraging NK cells’ innate safety, an ADCC-based mechanism, and scalable manufacturing to create off-the-shelf cell therapies that can be delivered in outpatient settings. Our AlloNK® platform is being evaluated in multiple clinical trials in autoimmune diseases.
