1/ 💡We are excited to share our latest paper, continuing our exploration of how maternal obesity programs offspring health via #macrophages - this time using #Drosophila as a model: shorturl.at/28tFo

#MaternalObesity #Drosophila #Neurodegeneration #DOHaD #FlyResearch #MacrophageBiology

Developmental programming by maternal obesity alters offspring lifespan and immune responses in a diet- and sex-specific manner

Maternal obesity is a growing health concern that predisposes offspring to metabolic dysfunction, immune system alterations, and neurodegenerative dis…

Congrats to our PIs @masslab.bsky.social & #HasenauerLab on their latest work uncovering the crosstalk between #Kupffer #Cells and #Hepatocytes in the context of maternal obesity.

A great example of macrophage-driven communication shaping tissue physiology

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.

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.

The #Rosshart Lab goes wild again! Ever wondered whether using #Wildlings in our research would change the outcome of our results? 🤔💡 #immunosky @fau.de

Laboratory mice engrafted with natural gut microbiota possess a wildling-like phenotype - Nature Communications

Here, the authors apply a standardized system, called TXsystem, to transplant wild mouse gut microbiota into SPF mice, developing “TXwildlings” mice that stably retain natural microbiota and human-lik...
