SARS-CoV-2 evades natural killer cell cytotoxic responses

In a recent study posted to the bioRxiv* preprint server, researchers at Stanford University School of Medicine revealed the mechanism via severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) escapes natural killer (NK) cell cytotoxic reactions.
