An inflammatory profile is associated with aging and senescence. Here, Hao et al. show that TXNRD1 drives the senescence-associated secretory phenotype through the cGAS–STING pathway, independently of its enzymatic activity, during senescence and that the TXNRD1–cGAS interaction may be a target for selectively suppressing inflammaging.
