STING is known as a central adaptor for sensing cytosolic DNA sensing. Recent studies have provided evidence that STING response is divergent among different cell types. Here, this work demonstrates that STING controls neural progenitor cells (NPCs) by sensing DNA damage in NPCs. The deletion of STING reduces neuronal differentiation and increases proliferation of mouse and human NPCs. Furthermore, STING<sup>cKO</sup> mice display autistic-like behaviors. In NPCs, STING specifically recruits IKK ...[more]
