Abstract
The potential application of high aspect-ratio nanomaterials motivates the development of the fabrication and modification of lipid nanotubes(LNTs). To date, diverse fabricate processes and elaborate template procedures have produced suitable tubular architectures with definite dimensions and complex structures for expected functions and applications. Herein, we comprehensively summarize the fabrication of LNTs in vitro and discuss the progress made on the micro/nanomaterials fabrication using LNTs as a template, as well as the functions and possible application of a wide range of LNTs as fundamental or derivative material. In addition, the characteristics, advantages, and disadvantages of different fabrication, modification methods, and development prospects of LNTs were briefly summarized.

Abstract
Supramolecular nanotubes produced by self-assembly of organic molecules can have unique structural features such as a one-dimensional morphology with no branching, distinguishable inner and outer surfaces and membrane walls, or a structure that is hollow and has a high aspect ratio. Incorporation of functional groups that respond to external chemical or physical stimuli into the constituent organic molecules of supramolecular nanotubes allows us to drastically change the structure of the nanotubes by applying such stimuli. This ability affords an array of controllable approaches for the encapsulation, storage, and release of guest compounds, which is expected to be useful in the fields of physics, chemistry, biology, and medicine. In this article, I review the supramolecular nanotubes developed by our group that exhibit morphological transformations in response to pH, chemical reaction, light, temperature, or moisture.

Abstract
Transportation, release behavior, and stability of a green fluorescent protein (GFP, 3x4 nm) in self-assembled organic nanotubes with three different inner diameters (10, 20, and 80 nm) have been studied in terms of novel nanocontainers. Selective immobilization of a fluorescent acceptor dye on the inner surface enabled us to not only visualize the transportation of GFP in the nanochannels but to also detect release of the encapsulated GFP to the bulk solution in real time, based on fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET). Obtained diffusion constants and release rates of GFP markedly decreased as the inner diameter of the nanotubes was decreased. An endo-sensing procedure also clarified the dependence of the thermal and chemical stabilities of the GFP on the inner diameters. The GFP encapsulated in the 10 nm nanochannel showed strong resistance to heat and to a denaturant. On the other hand, the 20 nm nanochannel accelerated the denaturation of the encapsulated GFP compared with the rate of denaturation of the free GFP in bulk and the encapsulated GFP in the 80 nm nanochannels. The confinement effect based on rational fitting of the inner diameter to the size of GFP allowed us to store it stably and without denaturation under high temperatures and high denaturant concentrations.

Abstract
The release behavior of fluorescent dyes, oligo DNAs and spherical proteins from self-assembled organic nanotubes having 7-9 nm inner diameters has been studied in terms of novel nanocontainers with high-axial ratios. Both much smaller inner diameters and asymmetric inner and outer surfaces are characteristic of the nanotubes. The acid-dissociation constant (pKa) of the amino groups located at the inner surface and the thermal phase transition temperature (Tg-l) of the nanotube were evaluated based on the pH titration and variable-temperature circular dichroism (CD) spectroscopic experiments, respectively. Each guest was slowly released from both open ends of the nanotube under weak alkaline conditions (pH 8.5), as a result of the decrease in electrostatic attraction between the inner surface and the guests. Elevated temperatures above the obtained Tg-l converted the monolayer membrane of the nanotube from a solid state to a fluid one, promoting the remarkably fast release of the guests. The unique release properties of the nanotube as a nanocontainer with two terminal open ends were compared with those of liposomes that posses a closed hollow space covered with fluid bilayer membranes.

Abstract
Self-assembled lipid tubules with crystalline bilayer walls represent useful supramolecular architectures which hold promise as vehicles for the controlled release of preloaded drugs and templates for the synthesis of one-dimensional inorganic materials. We study the local elasticity of lipid tubules of 1,2-bis(tricosa-10,12-diynoyl)-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine by radial atomic force microscope indentation, coupled with finite element analysis. A reduced stiffness is found to extend a distance of approximately 600 nm from the ends of lipid tubules. The middle section of lipid tubules is homogeneous in terms of their radial elasticity with a Young's modulus of approximately 703 MPa. The inhomogeneous radial elasticity likely arises from the variation of lipid packing density near the tubule ends.

Abstract
The work reported herein deals with the synthesis and the aggregation behavior studies of synthetic lipids bearing a non-ionic polar head made up of a tris(hydroxymethyl) aminomethane (tris) moiety linked with an aminoglycerol interface. The hydrophobic chains with variable lengths were grafted onto the hydroxyl functions of the aminoglycerol residue through ester or carbamate bonds. Tiny chemical modifications within this family of non-ionic surfactants brought about major variations in their aggregation behavior. They formed vesicles, tubules, and also small stable end-capped tubules - called vesicular nanotubes -, when the polar head bore two heptadecyl chains linked through a carbamate bond. Various techniques (nanosizer measurements, freeze fracture electron microscopy (FFEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), carboxyfluorescein (CF)) encapsulation were used to specify the structure of these assemblies. Notably, the vesicular nanotubes exhibited a small size, a fair polydispersity, great stability in an aqueous solution (up to 1 year) and a good efficiency to entrap and slowly release a probe such as carboxyfluoresceine: all these properties are perfectly suitable for their use as potential drug carriers.

Abstract
Published reports are reviewed as the basis of a proposal that an effective antineoplastic drug should contain several features: (a) resemblance to the natural lipid, ceramide; (b) an allylic alcohol and/or allylic ketone moiety; (c) a hydroxyl and/or a nitrogen atom near the allylic group; (d) conjugated double bonds as part of the allylic region. The drug should produce reactive oxygen species in tumor mitochondria, stimulate the generation of ceramide in the tumor, and condense with mitochondrial glutathione. It is pointed out that some antibiotics with these features are also active against cancer cells; perhaps anticancer drugs with these features will prove useful as antibiotics. Common problems in working with lipoidal substances are discussed.

Abstract
Tube-shaped nanostructures (nanotubes) have a number of attributes that make them potentially useful for biomedical applications such as drug delivery/detoxification and enzyme immobilization. Template synthesis provides a route for preparing monodisperse nanotubes of nearly any size and composed of nearly any material. We show here that template-synthesized silica nanotubes can be biochemically functionalized such that they act as biocatalysts and highly selective nano-phase extraction agents for bioseparations. For example, nanotubes containing an enantioselective antibody selectively extract the enantiomer of a drug molecule that binds to the antibody, relative to the enantiomer that has no specific interaction with the antibody. Nanotubes containing the enzyme glucose oxidase function as nanophase bioreactors to catalyze the oxidation of glucose.

Abstract
Complex high axial ratio microstructures (CHARMs) were evaluated for delivery of testosterone in vivo. Methods to incorporate testosterone included noncovalent mixing and covalent attachment of testosterone to the lipid to form a prodrug monomer. When prepared by covalent attachment, testosterone-loaded CHARMs were resistant to in vitro spontaneous hydrolysis; when injected into rats, testosterone was released with biphasic kinetics consisting of a burst followed by a much slower phase. Some CHARM material associated with testosterone persisted at the site of injection for at least 9 days.
