In vivo determination of fluctuating forces during endosome trafficking using a combination of active and passive microrheology.

BACKGROUND: Regulation of intracellular trafficking is a central issue in cell biology. The forces acting on intracellular vesicles (endosomes) can be assessed in living cells by using a combination of active and passive microrheology. METHODOLOGY/PRINCIPAL FINDINGS: This dual approach is based on e...
