Abstract

Recent developments of single-molecule and superresolution microscopies reveal novel spatial-temporal features of various cellular processes with unprecedented details, and greatly facilitate the development of theoretical models. In this review, we synthesize our view of how to meaningfully integrate these experimental approaches with theoretical modeling to obtain deeper understanding of the physical mechanisms of cell biology.
