microtubule architects, cellular engineers, fireworks of life, biochemists, scientists, teamwork, 🌈
Just when you think you have it all, Venecia Valdez and team from @RuiZhangWUSTL and @LabPetry prove us wrong: HURP facilitates spindle assembly by stabilizing microtubules and working synergistically with TPX2 biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Congrats to @JodiKraus1 and team @LabPetry! And thanks for @TrendsBiochem for the invitation!
Available now - the Review "#Microtubule nucleation for spindle assembly: one molecule at a time" from @JodiKraus1, @AcoAlfaro, @BernieGouveia, and @LabPetry. #yTuRC #spindleassemblypathway #spindleassemblyfactors #MTnucleation Read it here 👉 authors.elsevier.com/a/1hSWP3S6GfMl…
Our paper on chromosomal branching nucleation and spindle assembly is now out! Many new results in the final version: doi.org/10.1038/s41467… Great work together with @SagarSetru, @shaevitz, @LabPetry, and Howard Stone.
Opportunity pls #retweet: Josh @shaevitz and I are looking to hire a postdoc to work on an exciting new direction for us. A combination of wet lab, experimental design, and 3D image analysis to answer fundamental questions about the mitotic spindle. Interested? Shoot me an email!
This paper is now officially out: Augmin is a Ran-regulated spindle assembly factor: jbc.org/article/S0021-… Congrats @JodiKraus1 and @sophiembtravis and alumni @MattKingLab from @LabPetry
We hope this will be useful for many! Venecia Valdez and@LilaNeahring outdid themselves with this review, in a fantastic collaboration between @DumontLab and @LabPetry nature.com/articles/s4158…
Harry Higgs and I want to hear from you! Submit your abstract by May 18 for one of many short talks and present your poster at our #FASEB #cytoskeleton conference in MA. Save your space: hubs.ly/Q03k9zp60#CSDS…
Interested in actin, intermediate filaments and microtubules? Then this FASEB conference is for you – the only one in North America focused on the cytoskeleton with fantastic speakers. July 13-17 2025 in Southbridge MA. #cytoskeleton #FASEB #CytoskeletalStructureDynamicsFunction

Congratulations @meisam_zaferani and Ryungeun! We are proud of you.
Our work is now online at @PNASNews! 🥳 pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pn… This was a fantastic collaboration with my teammate, Ryungeun Song. A big shout-out to Howard Stone and @LabPetry for their superb mentorship throughout this journey. @omenndarlingbio @EPrinceton @PrincetonMolBio
Follow this thread to get the full story by @meisam_zaferani with Ryungeun Song from Howard STone's lab and @LabPetry on cytoskeletal circuits, our newest development:
Have you ever seen a microtubule (MT) diode?🤯 Exciting news! 🎉 My first postdoc publication is out! With Ryungeun Song, Howard Stone, and @LabPetry, we combined microfluidic, nanofabrication, and branched MT networks to build cytoskeletal circuits. ift.tt/U8pt3hO
Farewell dinner with@LabPetry: Our two senior thesis students Haley Tran and Mike Ruttlen received straight A's - congrats! We wish Haley and Mike well in their next career stage and are awaiting Mike's #NFLDraft next year!!! <= 🏈 &🧪 !!!

Proud of Venecia!
Congratulations 🎉 to Venecia Valdez, a fifth-year graduate student in the @LabPetry, on her selection to receive a Charlotte Elizabeth Procter Fellowship bit.ly/41ynQpD for the 2023-24 academic year!
Well done @JodiKraus1 and @sophiembtravis !
