Cytosolic DNA sensing by the cGAS–STING pathway is critical for sustaining an innate immune defense program. A new study shows that the cGAS–STING pathway signals by a non-canonical mechanism to control protein translation through the unfolded protein response sensor PERK, and thereby contributes to cellular senescence and organ fibrosis.
