Description	Abstract en In this study, we show that the energy-dissipative active self-assembly of microtubules (MTs) via a kinesin-based motility system produces various MT assemblies such as bundle-, network-, and ring-shaped structures depending on the initial conditions. Structural polymorphism of the MT assembly is depicted through phase diagrams, and morphogenesis of the MT assembly is discussed based on the following factors: binding force between MTs and motility-driving force from kinesins. This study provides new insights into the energy-dissipative dynamic self-organization of biological systems.
