Maternal obesity rewires fetal Kupffer cells (KCs) via HIF1α, triggering fatty liver disease in adult mice. Replacing KCs with naive monocytes rescues the liver. Great @nature.com paper from the great @masslab.bsky.social. 🤗

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.

Today the Supreme Court cleared the way for the federal government to transfer thousands of acres of national forestland including a Native American sacred site, to Resolution Copper a mining company owned by Rio Tinto and BHP. The land holds deep spiritual significance for the Western Apache tribe.
