IFI16 is required for DNA sensing in human macrophages by promoting production and function of cGAMP

The role of IFI16 as a DNA sensor is highly controversial. With support from a Nature Communications back-to-back publication from Almineet al. the authors here provide functional evidence that IFI16 is required for DNA sensing via the cGAS-STING pathway in human macrophages.
