Detection of microbial DNA is a primary means of host defense. In mammalian cells, DNA-sensing pathways induce robust anti-microbial responses and initiation of adaptive immunity, leading to the eventual clearance of the infectious agent. However, while conferring the advantage of broad detection capability, the sequence-independent recognition mechanisms of most DNA sensors pose a significant challenge for mammalian cells to maintain ignorance to self-DNA under homeostatic conditions. In this Review, we summarize the fundamentals of DNA-sensing pathways and the intricate regulatory networks that keep these pathways in check. In addition, we describe how regulatory restraints can be defective and underlie human autoinflammatory and autoimmune diseases. Further, we discuss therapies in development that limit inflammation fueled by self-DNA or inappropriate activation of DNA-sensing pathways. In this Review, Fitzgerald and Dong summarize the fundamentals of DNA-sensing pathways in health, autoinflammatory and autoimmune diseases.

Earth's deepest gravitational anomaly, known as the 'gravity hole,' lies 1,200 km southwest of India in the Indian Ocean.
Sometimes, it's hard to remember that Earth is constantly being bombarded by literally tons of space debris daily. The larger bits form what we know as shooting stars, and most burn up in the atmosphere. Still, throughout our planet's history, giant versions have caused devastation unlike anything else seen on this planet. Tracking these types of objects is typically done from the Earth, but a new mission set out by researchers in Italy has a novel idea—why not try to learn more about potential impactors by watching them hit the far side of the moon?
Maybe this was the last year of the usable web. If so, blame corporate greed.
