We are SO EXCITED to share our story @nature.com: 🧵1/ Maternal obesity reprograms fetal liver macrophages, triggering adult fatty liver disease in the offspring. This study uncovers how Kupffer cells act as intergenerational messengers in metabolic disease. 👉 Read here: rdcu.be/erD3b

Kupffer cell programming by maternal obesity triggers fatty liver disease
Nature - In a mouse model, maternal obesity during pregnancy can lead to fatty liver disease in the offspring, driven by aberrant developmental programming of Kuppfer cells.
