Mathematical modelling for bidirectional motor-mediated motility in a fungal model system

In Ustilago maydis hyphae, bidirectional transport of early endosomes (EEs) occurs on microtubules (MTs) that have plus and minus ends. The transport is powered by kinesin-3 towards the plus ends of MTs and dynein towards the minus ends. Experiments show an accumulation of dynein at the MT plus end....
