Cells evolved to detect foreign DNA and respond with inflammatory signaling. Unfortunately aging brings with it the mislocalization of fragments of the cell’s own DNA that is then misidentified as foreign, triggering these same inflammatory pathways. This response, and a number of other responses to forms of damage inside the cell, converge on the regulatory protein STING. The activity of STING that leads to inflammation is thus an interesting target for the treatment of age-related conditions involving excessive chronic inflammation. As for near all of the present potential approaches to the chronic inflammation of aging, sabotaging STING will harm the normal <a…
