In neuroscience, koniocellular cells, also called K-cells, are relatively small neurons located in the koniocellular layer of the lateral geniculate nucleus (LGN) within the thalamus of primates, including humans.

K cell may refer to: k-cell (mathematics) Intestinal cells which synthesize gastric inhibitory polypeptide; Natural killer cell; Koniocellular cell; Knudsen cell; The unit cube of dimension k; Kcell, a Kazakhstani mobile phone operator

This article focuses on secretions from intestinal K and L cells, that is, glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP) from K cells and glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) and oxyntomodulin (OXM) from L cells, and highlights advances published over the past year.

The K cell, also known as the killer cell or natural killer cell, is considered a fundamental part of the body’s innate immune system. These cells help to protect the body from illness by finding and killing abnormal cells that occur in tumors, infected cells, and invasive, parasitic, or foreign cells.

2023年5月29日 · A typical eukaryotic cell is comprised of cytoplasm with different organelles, such as nucleus, endoplasmic reticulum, Golgi apparatus, mitochondria, and so on. The cellular contents are surrounded by a double layer, cell membrane.

Transgenic mice engineered to produce insulin from intestinal K-cells are resistant to diabetes induced by a beta-cell toxin. Collectively, K-cells and GIP play important roles in health and disease, and both may be targets for novel therapies.

1980年2月29日 · Apart from T lymphocytes, two types of effector cells which lyse tissue culture cells by different mechanisms have been investigated intensively over the past decade--K (killer) and NK (natural killer) cells. K cells possess the capacity to lyse antibody-coated target cells.

2022年5月31日 · Natural killer cells (also known as NK cells, K cells, and killer cells) are a type of lymphocyte (a white blood cell) and a component of innate immune system.

Natural Killer (NK) Cells are lymphocytes in the same family as T and B cells, coming from a common progenitor. However, as cells of the innate immune system, NK cells are classified as group I Innate Lymphocytes (ILCs) and respond quickly to a …

2008年4月18日 · Natural killer (NK) cells are effector lymphocytes of the innate immune system that control several types of tumors and microbial infections by limiting their spread and subsequent tissue...
