Unlocking the Secret Pathway to Slow Aging and Neurodegeneration

By blocking the STING protein, the scientists were able to suppress inflammatory responses in senescent cells and tissues, leading to improvements in tissue function.cGAS/ STING is a molecular signaling path that discovers the presence of DNA in cells.” Impact of Blocking STING on AgingThe researchers studied the effects of blocking the STING protein in aged mice. As anticipated by its main function in driving swelling, preventing STING alleviated markers of inflammation both in the periphery and in the brain.
