Self-assembled organic nanotubes made of single or multiple molecular components can be
classified into soft-matter nanotubes (SMNTs) by contrast with hard-matter nanotubes, such …

A numerical scheme is presented for modeling dynamics of incompressible elastic lipid
membranes imbedded into viscous fluid. A new elliptic equation for tension in the membrane …

Interaction between polymers and soft-matter surfaces in the biological cell is a common yet
incompletely understood phenomenon. This work investigates a generic situation where a …

The dawn of soft-matter nanotube (SMNT) begins with concurrent discovery for the self-
assembly of hollow tubular structures from lipid derivatives in Japan as well as USA …

In presented chapter we focus on the equilibrium shapes of tubular lipid membranes. These
shapes are determined using Helfrich model of bending elasticity together with several …
