💡 Paper alert! We developed DEL-VPR, a potent blue-light photoswitch inducing gene expression in mammalian cells.
From basic research to antibody production, this tool offers precise & strong gene control. Teamwork with #Ningaloo

🚨 New in The EMBO Journal!
Loss of BBS8 disrupts ciliary Hedgehog signaling, switching adipocyte precursors into fibrogenic cells—remodeling adipose tissue before obesity begins.

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.

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 next #DGZ Focus Workshop on #Cilia & #Centrosomes will take place November 25 (end of October is our DGZ meeting in HD). Join us for a great speaker line-up, and big thanks to David Mick @mick-lab.bsky.social & Dagmar Wachten @wachtenlab.bsky.social for organizing!
