Scientists map genetic changes controlling the immune sensor STING
DNA
Ecole Polytechnique Federale de Lausanne (EPFL) Jun 24 2026 Reviewed The immune system depends on molecular alarms that detect danger inside cells. One of these alarms is STING, short for "stimulator of interferon genes". STING helps cells respond to infections, damaged DNA, and cancer. When it activates at the right time, it helps protect the body. When it activates too easily, or fails to activate, it can contribute to disease. STING controls several immune responses, including the production
