<p>Vesicles don&#39;t just float where they need to go. They&#39;re driven there, on tracks, by literal motor proteins. Here&#39;s how that actually works.</p><p><br></p><p>In this episode of the Jack Westin MCAT Podcast, Mike and Molly finish their cell trafficking series by answering the question the secretory pathway episode left open: how do vesicles actually move through the cell?
