Abstract

Natural killer (NK) cells are a crucial component of the innate immune system, with a well-known immunosurveillance function that includes the recognition and elimination of virally infected and cancerous cells. Certain pathological and physiological situations alter the function of natural killer cells, rendering our body to infection and cancer development. Therefore, it is relevant to identify pathways to improve natural killer cell activity. In this article, one alternative using cold stress to promote natural killer cell function is presented.
