Abstract Summary

CAR-NK cells offer safer, more versatile cancer immunotherapy than CAR-T cells. This review uniquely maps tumor escape mechanisms—like antigen loss and immune evasion—to targeted engineering solutions including dual-antigen CARs and advanced gene editing. The framework provides a translational roadmap for designing resilient next-generation CAR-NK therapies.

Why Brain? 🧠

CAR-NK cells offer safer cancer immunotherapy than CAR-T cells. This review maps tumor escape mechanisms to engineering solutions, providing a strategic framework for designing more effective treatments.
