>> How fast do molecular motors move on cytoskeletal filaments? Cell Biology by the Numbers --> How fast do molecular motors move on cytoskeletal filaments? Reader Mode Molecular motors are central to a vast array of different processes with examples including cell crawling, cell division, chromosome segregation, intracellular trafficking, etc. These active processes are driven by motors of many different types moving about on both actin and microtubule filaments. We noted in the vignette on “What are the time scales for diffusion in cells?” (i.e. those bigger than several tens of microns) dif
