First-passage time analysis of particle transport in the cytoplasm

Cell mechanics are often probed by tracking fluorescent tracer particles embedded in the cytoplasm. The analysis of such experiments typically involves computation of the mean-square displacement of the particles, and thus ignores the variation in how individual particles are transported by activity...
