Diffusion of tracer particles in the cytoplasm of mammalian cells is often anomalous with a marked heterogeneity even within individual particle trajectories. Despite considerable efforts, the mechanisms behind these observations have remained largely elusive. To tackle this problem, we performed extensive single-particle tracking experiments on quantum dots in the cytoplasm of living mammalian cells at varying conditions. Analyses of the trajectories reveal a strong, microtubule-dependent…

Intracellular transport of electrotransferred DNA cargo is governed by coexisting ergodic and non ergodic anomalous diffusion
TLDR
Interestingly, the electrotransferred DNA cargo transport is strongly dependent on the cell’s cancer state, which has a higher probability of superdiffusive transport and lower probability of caging in metastatic cells compared to malignant cells followed by benign cells.
Scattering fingerprints of two-state dynamics
Particle transport in complex environments such as the interior of living cells is often (transiently) non-Fickian or anomalous, that is, it deviates from the laws of Brownian motion. Such anomalies…
Single-Particle Tracking Reveals Anti-Persistent Subdiffusion in Cell Extracts
TLDR
It is shown that these beads feature an anti-persistent subdiffusion that is consistent with fractional Brownian motion, suggesting that the high degree of macromolecular crowding in Xenopus extracts equips the fluid with a viscoelastic modulus, hence enforcing particles to perform random walks with a significant anti-Persistent memory kernel.
Conditional entropic approach to nonequilibrium systems with weak fluctuation correlation
A conditional entropic approach is discussed for nonequilibrium complex systems with a weak correlation between spatiotemporally fluctuating quantities on a large time scale. The weak correlation is…
Dependence of diffusion in Escherichia coli cytoplasm on protein size, environmental conditions and cell growth
TLDR
It is concluded that cytoplasmic protein mobility could be well described by Brownian diffusion in the confined geometry of the bacterial cell and at high viscosity imposed by macromolecular crowding, and that protein mobility is increased by biosynthetic activity and cell growth.
Different Stochastic Resonances Induced by Multiplicative Polynomial Trichotomous Noise in a Fractional Order Oscillator with Time Delay and Fractional Gaussian Noise
A general investigation on the mechanism of stochastic resonance is reported in a time-delay fractional Langevin system, which endues a nonlinear form multiplicative colored noise and fractional…
Rate equations, spatial moments, and concentration profiles for mobile-immobile models with power-law and mixed waiting time distributions.
We present a framework for systems in which diffusion-advection transport of a tracer substance in a mobile zone is interrupted by trapping in an immobile zone. Our model unifies different model…
Subdiffusive search with home returns via stochastic resetting: a subordination scheme approach
Stochastic resetting with home returns is widely found in various manifestations in life and nature. Using the solution to the home return problem in terms of the solution to the corresponding…
Aging power spectrum of membrane protein transport and other subordinated random walks
TLDR
This work employs a recently developed tool named aging Wiener-Khinchin theorem to derive the power spectral density of fractional Brownian motion coexisting with a scale-free continuous time random walk, the two most typical anomalous diffusion processes.
Anomalous diffusion, nonergodicity, and ageing for exponentially and logarithmically time-dependent diffusivity: striking differences for massive versus massless particles
We investigate a diffusion process with a time-dependent diffusion coefficient, both exponentially increasing and decreasing in time, D(t)=D0e±2αt . For this (hypothetical) nonstationary diffusion…

ER membranes exhibit phase behavior at sites of organelle contact
TLDR
It is demonstrated that hypotonic swelling of cells converts the ER and other membrane-bound organelles into micrometer-scale large intracellular vesicles (LICVs) that retain luminal protein content and maintain contact sites with each other through localized organelle tethers, demonstrating that LICVs provide a useful model system for studying the phase behavior and interactive properties of organlles in intact cells.
