Local Analysis of Heterogeneous Intracellular Transport: Slow and Fast moving Endosomes
Trajectories of endosomes inside living eukaryotic cells are highly heterogeneous in space and time and diffuse anomalously due to a combination of viscoelasticity, caging, aggregation and active transport. Some of the trajectories display switching between persistent and anti-persistent motion while others jiggle around in one position for the whole measurement time. By splitting the ensemble of endosome trajectories into slow moving sub-diffusive and fast moving super-diffusive endosomes, we analyzed them separately. The mean squared displacements and velocity auto-correlation functions confirm the effectiveness of the splitting methods. Applying the local analysis, we show that both ensembles are characterized by a spectrum of local anomalous exponents and local generalized diffusion coefficients. Slow and fast endsomes have exponential distributions of local anomalous exponents and power law distributions of generalized diffusion coefficients. This suggests that heterogeneous fractional Brownian motion is an appropriate model for both fast and slow moving endosomes. This article is part of a Special Issue entitled: "Recent Advances In Single-Particle Tracking: Experiment and Analysis" edited by Janusz Szwabi\'nski and Aleksander Weron.

Doppler Fluctuation Spectroscopy of Intracellular Dynamics in Living Tissue
Intracellular dynamics in living tissue are dominated by active transport driven by bioenergetic processes far from thermal equilibrium. Intracellular constituents typically execute persistent walks. In the limit of long…
Hindering loads prompt clustered configurations that enhance stability during cargo transport by multiple Kinesin-1
Transport of intracellular cargo is often mediated by teams of molecular motors that function in a chaotic environment under varying conditions. We show that the motors have unique steady state behavior which enables tra…
Unravelling Heterogeneous Transport of Endosomes
A major open problem in biophysics is to understand the highly heterogeneous transport of many structures inside living cells, such as endosomes. We find that mathematically it is described by spatio-temporal heterogeneo…
