Cycling State that Can Lead to Glassy Dynamics in Intracellular Transport

Year: 2016

Type: article

Abstract: Studies of molecular motors and their cargo moving within cells have revealed that they can be trapped for long periods of times. Researchers show that this trapping can occur when the motors encounter intersections of cytoskeletal filaments within cells.
