Cargo logistics—driven by cytoskeletal motors and proceeding along actin and microtubule filaments—are an essential subsystem of the overall machinery of eukaryotic cells. Indeed, it is no stretch to say that virtually every process in a living cell depends, directly or indirectly, on proper routing of cargoes in a timely fashion. Much progress has been made in the last few decades in understanding the structure and properties of individual filaments and motors, but clean experimental modeling of how these components add up to a functional cytoskeleton still poses many challenges.One major challenge stems from the fact that microtubule structures in cells form 3D arrangements with nontrivial architectures. 1, 2 Existing in vitro techniques do not offer a single-filament level of control (eg, chemical self-assembly) and have so far proved sufficient only for reproducing a few limited types of intracellular filament structures. 3 It is thus difficult to capture the complexity of the microtubule cytoskeleton and associated cargo transport in a controlled environment, because it requires dynamic and precise 3D manipulation of multiple individual microtubules.
