Active diffusion and microtubule-based transport oppose myosin forces to position organelles in cells

The mechanisms underlying the positioning of eukaryotic organelles remain elusive. Here Lin et al. use imaging and a mathematical model to show that microtubule-based transport and active diffusion and actin-based polar drift act together to facilitate even distribution of peroxisomes in filamentous...
