Role of STING Deficiency in Amelioration of Mouse Models of Lupus and Atherosclerosis

These findings highlight a pathogenic role of STING and downstream IFN responses in TLR7-driven autoimmunity, vascular damage and atherosclerosis, supporting a therapeutic potential for STING inhibition in SLE treatment. Further research is warranted to elucidate the mechanisms underlying STING's involvement in these processes and to explore the feasibility of targeting STING as a therapeutic strategy in SLE and related autoimmune disorders.
