코로나19 감염되면 '암 킬러' 세포도 약화돼…
Recent research by local universities shows... once a person is infected with COVID-19,... the body's natural killer cells, known as "NK cells"... don't function properly.
NK cells detect cells that are infected... like cancer... and kill them.
When NK cells are active, it means the immune system is functioning properly.
But... a research team comprised of scientists from the Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology and Chungnam National University found that NK cells of the average coronavirus patient were dysfunctional.
And for patients who were severely ill, NK cells didn't function properly... even one month after they were first infected.
