Close your eyes, now imagine your favorite cellular process. What are the participating components? How do they interact? How fast is the process and how long does it last? More than often, the first two questions are relatively straightforward, while the latter may stump even experts working a lifetime on the subject. Yet knowing relevant timescales enables us to visualize the dynamic scenario, perform sanity checks and gain intuition to better understand the cell inner workings. We have assembled a handy "cell biology by the numbers" snapshot that visually conveys key rates and durations of common processes in biology, and can facilitate and enhance educational, research and outreach activities.https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0092867416302082
