cGAS-deficient mice display premature aging associated with derepression of LINE1 elements and inflammation
Aging-associated inflammation is a driver of multiple age-associated diseases. Cyclic GMP–AMP synthase (cGAS) contributes to inflammaging by responding to endogenously-derived cytoplasmic DNA in aged cells. Although cGAS-knockout (KO) mice are viable, their aging has not been characterized. Unexpectedly, we found that...
