Very happy to share this study from our group and colleagues now out in Science! We found that in zebrafish, before the immune system is mature, gut epithelial cells perform immune functions by producing the cytokine IL-22 to shape the microbiota to promote early life gut function #Zebrafish #Gut

🌟 Meet the Scientific Committee: @filodelbene.bsky.social 🌟 Filippo del Bene is a member of the Scientific Committee of #EZM2026, and we are thrilled to have him join us in Vienna! Stay tuned as we continue to introduce the outstanding scientists of EZM2026! 🐟🧬

A new preprint from our lab is out! 🥳 Congrats to Anyi Zhang and @lucamasin.bsky.social for this great paper titled: Repressed mTORC1 signaling and transient dendritic pruning support axonal regeneration! Grateful for the fruitful collaboration with the @filodelbene.bsky.social and Poulain labs!

Proud to share our new paper uncovering how Lrrn-mediated targeting of retinal ganglion cells assembles circuits for brightness and contrast detection — led by my outstanding PhD student Elena Putti and made possible through wonderful collaborations. www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

This article truly refines the concept of a toxic relationship. www.cell.com/current-biol...
