PhD Candidate @ucdavis | Starr–Luxton Lab | Cell biology & biophysicshttps://bsky.app/profile/xiangyiding.bsky.socialhttps://bsky.app/profile/xiangyiding.bsky.social/post/3mrb7qhdrgk2rExcited to share that the third chapter of my dissertation is now on bioRxiv! We found that the LINC complex acts as a brake to gate nucleolar assembly in C. elegans embryos. Grateful to Gant, Dan, Steph, and all our co-authors for making this work possible. https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.64898/2026.07.20.739428v1 [contains quote post or other embedded content]22 Jul 2026 21:00 +0000at://did:plc:fvqshnkphfwkfpgpslubdmkr/app.bsky.feed.post/3mrb7qhdrgk2rhttps://bsky.app/profile/xiangyiding.bsky.social/post/3mhssshjqt22vGreat work, Ina!!

Come talk with me and all other Starr-Luxton Lab folks here at ASCB Matt, Dan and Gant and let’s get connected! #ASCB #CellBio202507 Dec 2025 21:51 +0000at://did:plc:fvqshnkphfwkfpgpslubdmkr/app.bsky.feed.post/3m7giqowbvc2uhttps://bsky.app/profile/xiangyiding.bsky.social/post/3lzjp4rf6ps23🎉Check out our new preprint!! 🧬We found that lamin mutations in muscular dystrophy don’t just affect the nucleus — they disrupt a nucleolar–ribosomal axis that reorganizes the entire cytoplasm. Very grateful to @danstarrucdavis.bsky.social, @gwgl.bsky.social and our lab for collaboration & support!

We discovered that the cytoplasm of living animal tissues is extremely crowded and constrained, maintained by ribosomes and the giant KASH protein ANC-1. https://www.science.org/doi/10.1126/sciadv.adx095210 Sep 2025 19:10 +0000at://did:plc:fvqshnkphfwkfpgpslubdmkr/app.bsky.feed.post/3lyiwqik6sc2rhttps://bsky.app/profile/xiangyiding.bsky.social/post/3lss4vxnvkc22It was great to gave a plenary talk to the worm community 🪱 Received great questions and comments. Thanks to both of my PIs @gwgl.bsky.social and @danstarrucdavis.bsky.social for the co-mentorship and thanks to the organizers @genetics-gsa for bringing us together.
