When size does matter: Organelle size influences the properties of transport mediated by molecular motors
Background Organelle transport is driven by the action of molecular motors. In this work, we studied the dynamics of organelles of different sizes with the aim of understanding the complex relation between organelle motion and microenvironment. Methods We used single particle tracking to obtain traj...
