A ubiquitous observation in cell biology is that the diffusive motion of macromolecules and
organelles is anomalous, and a description simply based on the conventional diffusion …

The recent rapid accumulation of knowledge on the dynamics and structure of the plasma
membrane has prompted major modifications of the textbook fluid-mosaic model. However …

Based on recent single-molecule imaging results in the living cell plasma membrane, we
propose a hierarchical architecture of three-tiered mesoscale (2–300nm) domains to …

Most statistical theories of anomalous diffusion rely on ensemble-averaged quantities such
as the mean squared displacement. Single molecule tracking measurements require …

A brief historical outline of fluorescence fluctuation correlation techniques is presented,
followed by an in-depth review of the theory and development of image correlation …

Single particle tracking is an essential tool in the study of complex systems and biophysics
and it is commonly analyzed by the time-averaged mean square displacement (MSD) of the …

The interstitial matrix is comprised of cross-linked collagen fibers, generally arranged in
nonisotropic orientations. Spatial alignment of matrix components within the tissue can affect …

Single-molecule tracking and fluorescence correlation spectroscopy (FCS) applied to the
plasma membrane in living cells have allowed a number of unprecedented observations …

In recent years, the development of fast and highly sensitive microscopy has changed the
way of thinking of cell biologists: it became more and more important to study the structural …

Virtually all biological membranes on earth share the basic structure of a two-dimensional
liquid. Such universality and peculiarity are comparable to those of the double helical …
