Research Question

"The study identifies cGAS/STING activation as a consequence of TDP-43-mediated mtDNA release, but the temporal dynamics and whether this pathway drives chronic inflammation or acute toxicity remains unclear. This distinction is critical for determining therapeutic timing and approach.
