This is an overview of theoretical approaches to semiflexible polymers and their networks.
Such semiflexible polymers have large bending rigidities that can compete with the entropic …

Living systems operate far from thermodynamic equilibrium. Enzymatic activity can induce
broken detailed balance at the molecular scale. This molecular scale breaking of detailed …

Deviations from Brownian motion leading to anomalous diffusion are found in transport
dynamics from quantum physics to life sciences. The characterization of anomalous diffusion …

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 …

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 …

A particle's motion in crowded environments often exhibits anomalous diffusion, whose
nature depends on the situation at hand and is formalized within different physical models …

Fractional dynamics has experienced a firm upswing during the past few years, having been
forged into a mature framework in the theory of stochastic processes. A large number of …

Combining extensive single particle tracking microscopy data of endogenous lipid granules
in living fission yeast cells with analytical results we show evidence for anomalous diffusion …

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 …

This review examines intermittent target search strategies, which combine phases of slow
motion, allowing the searcher to detect the target, and phases of fast motion during which …
