Shear flow-induced nanotubulation of surface-immobilized liposomes

Abstract

We propose a simple method to prepare lipid nanotubes, which can be used to transport biological molecules. By applying shear stress to surface-immobilized liposomes on a solid substrate, we obtained long lipid nanotubes arranged in a well-controlled direction.
