How the cGAS–STING system links inflammation and cognitive decline
Nature, Published online: 02 August 2023; doi:10.1038/d41586-023-02240-1When DNA is misplaced inside cells, the cGAS–STING molecular system triggers inflammation. It emerges that stimulation of this mechanism in microglial cells of the brain during ageing contributes to cognitive decline. #press
