Open AccessMechanism and therapeutic potential of targeting cGAS-STING signaling in neurological disorders
DNA sensing is a pivotal component of the innate immune system that is responsible for detecting mislocalized DNA and triggering downstream inflammatory pathways. Among the DNA sensors, cyclic GMP-AMP synthase...

Open AccessTau activation of microglial cGAS–IFN reduces MEF2C-mediated cognitive resilience
Pathological hallmarks of Alzheimer’s disease (AD) precede clinical symptoms by years, indicating a period of cognitive resilience before the onset of dementia. Here, we report that activation of cyclic GMP–AM...

A legume kinesin controls vacuole morphogenesis for rhizobia endosymbiosis
Symbioses between legumes and rhizobia require establishment of the plant-derived symbiosome membrane, which surrounds the rhizobia and accommodates the symbionts by providing an interface for nutrient and sig...

The expression of diacylglycerol kinase isoforms α and ζ correlates with the progression of experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis in rats
Multiple sclerosis (MS) is characterized by neuroinflammation and neurodegeneration, whose precise processes are not fully understood. Diacylglycerol kinase (DGK) isozymes of α, β, γ and ζ expressed abundantly...

Transfer cells mediate nitrate uptake to control root nodule symbiosis
Root nodule symbiosis enables nitrogen fixation in legumes and, therefore, improves crop production for sustainable agriculture1,2. Environmental nitrate levels affect nodulation and nitrogen fixation, but the me...
