Understanding how regulators of inflammation affect nucleic acid sensing is important for targeting research against inflammatory diseases and conditions. Here, the authors identify Nrf2 as an important negative regulator of STING and suggest a link between metabolic reprogramming and antiviral cytosolic DNA sensing in human cells.
