Abstract
The mechanisms underlying the positioning of eukaryotic organelles remain elusive. Here Lin et al. use imaging and a mathematical model to show that microtubule-based transport and active diffusion and actin-based polar drift act together to facilitate even distribution of peroxisomes in filamentous fungi.
