Professor Ben-Zion "Benny" Shilo (1951-2025) A deep scientist and a radiator of warmth and empathy. An observer of India’s beauty and a friend of the country.

Thrilled to share our new paper published in @ScienceAdvances ! It is packed with our 10 years of data on the venom proteins of the parasitoid wasp Asobara japonica! Parasitoid wasp venoms degrade Drosophila imaginal discs for successful parasitism science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…

@JunsuKang2 Congrats Junsu!!!!

We are happy to share our new paper. We identified il11 as a regenerative factor to stimulate heart regeneration. However, prolonged il11 treatment causes fibrosis due to persistent activation of the epicardium. nature.com/articles/s4146…

Happy to share this link for easy access to a new review article in @TrendsNeuro, co-authored with Fen-Biao Gao and the talented Soojin Lee about antimicrobial peptides in the brain and neurodegeneration: authors.elsevier.com/a/1jvBwbotq3zZ7

@HongjieLi5 @NIHDirector @bcmgenetics @BCMFromtheLabs @BCMCancerCenter @bcm Congratulations Hongjie!!

Not Nobel, but really glad to receive @NIHDirector’s New Innovator Award. pursue: commonfund.nih.gov/newinnovator/A… #NIHHighRisk @bcmgenetics @BCMFromtheLabs @BCMCancerCenter @bcm

@JunsuKang2 Congrats Junsu!

It is a great honor and pleasure to receive the ISRB Rising Star Award. I sincerely appreciate my previous mentors, including Drs. Junho Lee and Ken Poss, and my dedicated lab members for their hard work to advance regenerative biology. isrbio.org/2024-Award-Win…

A meeting all about BLOOD😍 A core hematopoiesis meeting @DBT_inStem kicks off next week. Excited & looking fwd to talk about our research next week, interact & discuss new directions of the field ✨ @Co_Biologists @biopatrika #science #conference #research

I am pleased to inform you of the publication of the Drosophila immunity handbook. The pdf version of the book is free, or a physical version of the book is available for purchase at @EPFL press.epflpress.org/produit/1514/9…

@seyeon_chung It was wonderful to have you here! Have a safe trip back and hope to see you soon :-)

Met some amazing fly people during my visit to Korea! Thanks to @jiwonshimlab for hosting me at Hanyang University and for the inspiring conversation!

Having more sensory neurons sounds beneficial for perception and behavior, but is it? If so, how? Check out our new publication for some new theories. nature.com/articles/s4146…

Thrilled to share our work! Thanks to @NovoNordiskFond and @DFF_raad, we unveil how LGR signaling mediates crosstalk between muscle, neuronal, and adipose tissues, protecting against #insulinresistance and offering insights into #Diabetes and #Obesity. nature.com/articles/s4146…

@JunsuKang2 Congratulations! It’s a big milestone.

My lab celebrated its first PhD graduation! Congratulations to Daniel Osorio-Mendez. You did excellent work! Best wishes for your new role at the Icahn School of Medicine in Michael Rendl's lab. Wish to hear outstanding research on hair follicle regeneration.

@delaevanio @Nature Thank you, Iwan!!
