For comparison, 10 mice received injections of untargeted STING agonist. Tumors remained in all mice, despite a modest slowing of growth for a short time.

In a pair of studies, researchers report the discovery and molecular pharmacology of stable, synthetic STING (stimulator of interferon genes) agonists that induce anticancer immune responses in mice.

A China-U.S. study led by scientists at China Pharmaceutical University (CPU) and Harvard University has identified a new small-molecule antagonist of the stimulator of interferon genes (STING) ...
