mRNAs encoding self-DNA reactive cGAS enhance the immunogenicity of lipid nanoparticle vaccines | mBio Nucleic acid-based vaccines hold promise in preventing infections and treating cancer. The most common use of this technology is to encode antigenic proteins on mRNAs that are delivered to cells via l...

This paper validates the original work establishing this concept for the cGAS-STING pathway. Kudos to the authors.
