I’ve just submitted a new article for review (see the biorxiv link for preprint). This article investigates the consequences of sub-diffusive dynamics (Fractional Brownian or Generalized Langevin to be more specific) on the spatial localization of particles near cellular borders. The main finding here is that the fundamental statistical and physical assumptions encoded in these models of anomalous diffusive dynamics give rise to the formation of substantial boundary layers near any reflecting boundary (e.g. cell membrane). The question that remains is, do these boundary layers actually exist? Happy reading.
