Excited to share my graduate work from the @ejohnwherry.bsky.social lab on the molecular mechanisms locking in the differentiation fate of exhausted CD8 T cells (Tex), published earlier this month in @science.org immunology. Main findings below! www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

Continuous expression of TOX safeguards exhausted CD8 T cell epigenetic fate

TOX safeguards exhaustion biology in established Tex cells and restrains fate conversion to Teff cells.
