Optical microscopy has for centuries been a key tool to study living cells with minimum invasiveness. The advent of single molecule techniques over the past two decades has …
A growing number of biological, soft, and active matter systems are observed to exhibit normal diffusive dynamics with a linear growth of the mean-squared displacement, yet with a …
Modern microscopic techniques following the stochastic motion of labelled tracer particles have uncovered significant deviations from the laws of Brownian motion in a variety of …
Biomembranes are exceptionally crowded with proteins with typical protein-to-lipid ratios being around 1∶ 50− 1∶ 100. Protein crowding has a decisive role in lateral membrane …

It is well established that a wide variety of phenomena in cellular and molecular biology involve anomalous transport eg the statistics for the motility of cells and molecules are …
Protein conformational fluctuations are highly complex and exhibit long-term correlations. Here, molecular dynamics simulations of small proteins demonstrate that these …

Diffusion of tracer particles in the cytoplasm of mammalian cells is often anomalous with a marked heterogeneity even within individual particle trajectories. Despite considerable …
Conventional wisdom holds that macroscopic classical phenomena naturally emerge from microscopic quantum laws,,,,,–. However, despite this mantra, building direct connections …
The cellular cytoplasm is a complex, heterogeneous environment (both spatially and temporally) that exhibits viscoelastic behavior. To further develop our quantitative insight into …
