"To celebrate the 40th anniversary of the discovery of Natural Killer (NK) cells,
this volume focuses on the recent advances in our understanding of NK cell development
and differentiation and their acquisition of functional properties, as well as the
latest models for NK-cell analysis in mice and applications in clinical medicine.
NK cells have travelled a circuitous path from their initial description as 'spontaneous
killers' (for some simply an experimental artifact) to being a bona fide subset of
innate lymphoid cells with a complementary mode of action in immune defense and an
important mediator of immune reactivity in health and disease. Together, these reviews
provide a timely and concise picture of the evolution of NK cells as essential agents
in immunity and as potent weapons against disease. This book offers an appealing and
insightful resource for scientists and clinicians."--Cover
