What’s in a name? Memory NK cells for cancer immunotherapy by William J Murphy, Robert J Canter, Sean J Judge, Megan C Purl

“…The discovery that natural killer (NK) cells can retain features of “memory” from previous stimulation and pathogen exposure was a landmark advance highlighting one of many ways in which NK cells of the innate immune system resemble T cells of the adaptive immune system. This ability to “remember” prior stimulation to bring about enhanced protection of the host sparked significant excitement regarding potential therapeutic applications. …”
