In addition to their roles in cellular metabolism and apoptosis, mitochondria function as
signaling platforms in the innate immune response. In Nature, West et al.(2015) demonstrate
that mitochondrial stress triggers a type I interferon response and confers viral resistance via
release of mtDNA and activation of the cGAS–STING pathway.
