YAP/TAZ deficiency modulated cGAS-STING (cyclic GMP-AMP synthase-stimulator of interferon genes) and Wnt (wingless-related integration site) signaling genes in bECs and promoted myeloid cell recruitment and an anti-inflammatory vascular environment during the subacute phase of stroke.<h4>Conclusions</h4>Our data suggest that endothelial YAP/TAZ affects the inflammatory milieu subacutely after ischemia and thereby influences the chronic course of stroke. The gene discussed is CGAS; the disease is Stroke.
