Core Tip Induced pluripotent stem cell-derived chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) natural killer cells provide a candidate standardized, cell-bank-driven platform for off-the-shelf immunotherapy. Their translational value should not be judged solely by CAR expression, enhanced cytotoxicity, or accumulated engineering modules. This review proposes a multilevel framework integrating product definition, effector execution, tissue delivery, host interaction, and translational implementation, and emphasizes dominant bottlenecks, evidence levels, engineering trade-offs, and the gap between preclinical functional enhancement and established clinical benefit.
