Insects Go on a STING Operation to Tackle Intracellular Invaders

Insect immunity to extracellular microbes relies largely on the TOLL and IMD pathways. In this issue of Immunity, Goto et al. (2018) report that the IKKβ-Relish module of the IMD pathway hitches up the intracellular sensor STING to activate antiviral responses in Drosophila. Insect immunity to extra...
