Overview

The microtubule-organelle motility assay is a laboratory technique used to measure the motor activity of non-muscle cell organelles or particles along microtubules. This assay provides information about the force generated by the motor proteins, as well as insights into the bio-physical properties of organelle motility. This technique has a wide range of applications including understanding neuron cell migration, intracellular drug delivery and the development of biomaterials for medical engineering. It is an essential tool for researchers seeking to study the mechano-chemical behavior of organelles and particles.
