Active diffusion and advection in Drosophila oocytes result from the interplay of actin and microtubules.

Abstract excerpt

Transport in cells occurs via a delicate interplay of passive and active processes, including diffusion, directed transport and advection. Despite progress in super-resolution microscopy, discriminating and quantifying these processes is a challenge, requiring tracking of rapidly moving, sub-diffraction objects in a crowded, noisy environment. Here we use differential dynamic microscopy with different contrast...
