Abstract

Cytosolic DNA detection via the DNA sensor cGAS initiates a major cell-intrinsic response to infection and malignancies. In this issue of Immunity, Zhou et al. (2020) report that the catalytic product of cGAS, cGAMP, can alert bystander cells over large distances through its cell-to-cell transmission via volume-regulated anion channels.
