AbstractTubular membrane structures are ubiquitous in cells and in the membranes of intracellular organelles such as the Golgi complex and the endoplasmic reticulum. Tubulation plays essential roles in numerous biological processes, including filopodia growth, trafficking, ion transport, and cellular motility. Understanding the fundamental mechanism of the formation of membrane tubes is thus an important problem in the fields of biology and biophysics.
