To investigate how the dormant and outbreak cells regulate cancer progression through the immune system by controlling the STING activity, the authors initially studied the correlation between STING and immune monitoring‐related factors in different states of cancer cells (e.g., SOX2+ progenitors that are more likely to be suppressed by NK cells, and SOX9+ cells that exhibit resistance to NK cell‐mediated clearance).4 The gene discussed is STING1; the disease is cancer.
