A MAFG-lncRNA axis links systemic nutrient abundance to hepatic glucose metabolism

TL;DR: A transcription factor–LncRNA pathway that couples hepatocyte nutrient sensing to regulation of glucose metabolism in mice is described, and it is found that obesity-repressed LincIRS2 is controlled by MAFG and that genetic and RNAi-mediated Linc IRS2 loss causes elevated blood glucose, insulin resistance and aberrant glucose output in lean mice.

Decoding Lamarck—transgenerational control of metabolism by noncoding RNAs

TL;DR: The current knowledge about ETI in lower and in higher organisms as well as in human cohorts is summarized and epigenetic principles potentially underlying this nongenetic mode of heredity are elaborated on.
