Author(s): Lydia Dyck, Lydia Lynch
NK cells control tumor growth directly through targeted cytotoxic granule release or cytokine secretion and indirectly by orchestrating anti-tumor immune responses. In this issue of Immunity, Glasner et al. (2018) now reveal a new role for NK cells in preventing metastatic spread through controlling tumor architecture.
