Deskripsi

Here, the authors show that the topoisomerase 1-DNA covalent cleavage complex plays a critical role in mediating cytoplasmic chromatin fragments recognition by cyclic GMP-AMP synthase during senescence. The proposed axis is crucial to promote the inflammatory senescence-associated secretory phenotype and to enable the response to immune checkpoint blockade.
