The interplay of cGAS-STING and autophagy: bidirectional regulation and pathophysiological implication
The cGAS-STING pathway is a fundamental cytosolic DNA-sensing mechanism that activates innate immune responses through the production of type I interferons (IFNs) and other cytokines. Autophagy, a conserved intracellular degradation system, plays crucial roles in maintaining cellular homeostasis by clearing damaged o...
