AI Maps STING Mutations to Boost Immunity and Cancer Research
MacrinePhD · x · 2026-07-13
EPFL scientists utilized deep mutational scanning and cryo-electron microscopy to successfully map the effects of nearly all amino acid mutations in STING, a critical immune sensor protein.
The research data precisely reveals how genetic fine-tuning alters the human body's ability to defend against inflammation, cancer, and pathogens, uncovering entirely new key regulatory regions that control anti-infection and anti-tumor responses.
