Many cancer cells are known to have high levels of DNA damage, and pieces of DNA can leak into the cell’s cytoplasm. This activates an alarm system called the cGAS-STING pathway, which triggers an immune response to attack the tumor. However, researchers show that some tumors fight back using a specific…
