The paper measures ATP gradients in motor-microtubule assemblies and shows they are sustained by energy consumption, with implications for cytoskeletal organization.

The paper develops a cell-free platform to study how kinesin motor sequences influence microtubule dynamics, identifying distinct phenotypes and showing that recombination can alter dynamics.

The paper investigates motor-driven microtubule network contraction and identifies a diffusive-like spread within the network, showing a conserved relationship between contraction rates and diffusion constants.
