From mitochondria to innate immunity: The mtDNA-driven cGAS/STING-NLRP3 cascade and its therapeutic implications in neurodegenerative diseases (Review)
Neurodegenerative diseases (NDDs) are commonly accompanied by persistent low-grade neuroinflammation, yet current therapies rarely achieve durable disease modification. This review aims to systematically delineate the role of mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) leakage in linking mitochondrial injury to innate immune activation...
