Active fluctuations of cytoplasmic actomyosin networks facilitate dynein-driven intracellular transport along microtubules

Takayuki Torisawa, Kei Saito, Ken’ya Furuta, Akatsuki Kimura

This study shows that cytoplasmic actomyosin fluctuations enhance dynein-driven transport in C. elegans embryos by accelerating motor-cargo movement through asymmetric force responses.
