IFI16 and cGAS cooperate in the activation of STING during DNA sensing in human keratinocytes

The role of IFI16 as a DNA sensor is highly controversial. With support from aNature Communications back-to-back publication from Jønsson et al., the authors here provide functional evidence that IFI16 is involved in DNA sensing via the cGAS-STING pathway in human keratinocytes.
