Based on extraterrestrial chromite grains (63–355 μm) in late Eocene sediments, the Chesapeake Bay impact crater (northeastern United States; 40–85 km diameter) likely formed from an H-chondritic projectile. This impact occurred 10–20 k.y. after the formation of the Popigai crater (Siberia, Russia; ∼100 km). The craters formed at the peak of a 2-m.y. period with a factor of 3–5 enhanced flux of 3H
Neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorder (NMOSD) is an autoimmune disease characterized by anti-aquaporin 4 (AQP4) antibody-mediated astrocyte damage and subsequent demyelination. Prior attempts to treat NMOSD with interferon-beta (IFN-β), a disease-modifying therapy for multiple sclerosis, resulted in worsening of disease activity, with an unknown mechanism. Here, robust activation of the cGAS-STIN
