Abstract
Cytoplasmic dynein is a microtubule-based motor protein that transports membranes in cells. The movement driven by a single dynein molecule in vitro is not as robust as dynein-driven movements in cells. A new study suggests that transport by multiple dyneins is more similar to cellular motions.
