Double-edged STING: A new pathway involved in aging


Recommended Posts

A protein called STING, previously shown to control a pathway that contributes to antiviral signaling, also plays an important role in cellular stress clearance and cell survival, according to a new paper published in Molecular Cell.

"It was quite surprising that STING has a protective function for cells to reduce stress and damage in addition to its well-known role in inflammation," said senior author Jay Xiaojun Tan, Ph.D., assistant professor at the University of Pittsburgh and UPMC Aging Institute and Pitt's Department of Cell Biology.
