It can be used as focal point to send my favorite protein (formins) to study its previously uncovered function! 😎 [contains quote post or other embedded content]21 Aug 2026 07:08 +0000at://did:plc:simnpnn6qljdoetotzwjf3he/app.bsky.feed.post/3mtl7a2ooa22ahttps://bsky.app/profile/xianglejerry.bsky.social/post/3mtjucv737s2mHere's my PhD work on the assembly of different focal adhesions-associated #actin filament populations by specific actin polymerases, formin vs. VASP! Check out how we exploited the #mitochondria to address the decade-old problem about formin-tropomyosin! https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.64898/2026.08.19.745742v120 Aug 2026 18:20 +0000at://did:plc:simnpnn6qljdoetotzwjf3he/app.bsky.feed.post/3mtjucv737s2mhttps://bsky.app/profile/xianglejerry.bsky.social/post/3m7olpryv6k27Presenting a talk the ASCB @ascbiology.bsky.social #CellBio2025 meant a lot to me, a new guy in the field. Thanks to everyone whom came for the session, and special thanks to the ones whom dropped me kind encouragements before my talk! 😊 [contains quote post or other embedded content]11 Dec 2025 03:05 +0000at://did:plc:simnpnn6qljdoetotzwjf3he/app.bsky.feed.post/3m7olpryv6k27https://bsky.app/profile/xianglejerry.bsky.social/post/3m74hg6pnzc23Hey everyone and fellow #actin people! Here's a preview video for my upcoming talk at #cellbio2025 @ascbiology.bsky.social next Wednesday at 10am! Because it's gonna happen on the last day, so I promise to be a little funny, and I might even throw in a song and dance! And some nice data too.03 Dec 2025 22:00 +0000at://did:plc:simnpnn6qljdoetotzwjf3he/app.bsky.feed.post/3m74hg6pnzc23https://bsky.app/profile/xianglejerry.bsky.social/post/3lt5gvcrkkc2tRealized this morning that my submission got selected for Yale's Beauty in Science 2025 exhibition! Seeing the live-assembly of filopodia projections by formin mDia3 in mast cells got me really stoked back then! #FluorescenceFriday04 Jul 2025 14:21 +0000at://did:plc:simnpnn6qljdoetotzwjf3he/app.bsky.feed.post/3lt5gvcrkkc2t
