Continuous expression of TOX safeguards exhausted CD8 T cell epigenetic fate
CD8 T cell exhaustion is a major barrier limiting anti-tumor therapy. Though checkpoint blockade temporarily improves exhausted CD8 T cell (Tex) function, the underlying epigenetic landscape of Tex remains largely unchanged, preventing their durable “reinvigoration.” Whereas the transcription …

DNA crosslink repair safeguards genomic stability during pre-meiotic germ cell development
Germ cells are single-handedly responsible for the transmission of genetic and epigenetic information (the instructions to make new life) from one generation to the next. It is therefore, of paramount importance that germ cells maintain the stability of their genome. Failure to do so can result in …

STING safeguards epithelial genome integrity and protects from carcinogenesis via mitotic checkpoint control
The cGAS-STING pathway is widely recognized as a central mediator of innate immune responses to cytosolic DNA. However, whether cGAS-STING directly coordinates DNA damage response in non-immune cells and thereby contributes to cell-intrinsic prevention of oncogenesis is not known. The present work …

Design optimization and analysis of a fluoride salt cooled high temperature test reactor for accelerated fuels and materials testing and nonproliferation and safeguards evaluations
Fluoride Salt Cooled High Temperature Reactors (FHRs) are a new reactor concept that have recently garnered interest because of their potential to serve missions and generate revenue from sources beyond those of traditional base-load light water reactor (LWR) designs. This potential is facilitated …
