A Continuous Network of Lipid Nanotubes Fabricated from the
Gliding Motility of Kinesin Powered Microtubule Filaments

"Taxol-stabilized microtubules taxol-stabilized MTs, in constant 2D
motion via surface absorbed kinesin, extracted and extended lipid
nanotube networks from large Lα phase multilamellar liposomes...
Interactions between MTs and extended lipid nanotubes resulted in
bifurcation of the nanotubes and ultimately the generation of highly
branched networks of fluidically connected nanotubes...The ability of
these networks to capture nanomaterials at the membrane surface with
high fidelity was subsequently demonstrated using quantum dots as a
model system."
