Imprinted lncRNA Dio3os preprograms intergenerational brown fat development and obesity resistance

Maternal obesity predisposes offspring to obesity and metabolic disorders through incompletely understood mechanisms. Here the authors report that Dio3os is an imprinted long-coding RNA that modulates brown adipose tissue development and obesity resistance in the offspring.
