TREX1 is an enzyme that degrades cytosolic DNA (a danger signal) and prevents it from binding to cyclic GMP–AMP synthase (cGAS) and activating the STING pathway. Mutations in TREX1 cause ...
Our cells harbor a DNA detector termed cGAS to inform the immune system of viral and bacterial infections, cell death, as ...
The cGAS-STING pathway facilitates crosstalk between cancer cells and the tumor microenvironment (TME). The activation of cGAS-STING promotes the release and presentation of cancer antigens ...
