3D video frames of an MKD patient's impaired NK cells

Caption

These 3D-rendered video frames track immune cells (cyan) from an MKD patient interacting with targets (magenta) over ten minutes. Their yellow toxic granules fail to move toward the target, confirming this misfiring mechanism is a consistent feature of the disease.
