Abstract
Abstract The formation of myelin tubes, a variety of lyotropic liquid crystals easily observable with a microscope, has been studied in different systems involving sterols (or some metabolically or phylogenetically related substances) and various water-soluble amphiphiles. Different factors influencing myelin tube formation have been investigated: temperature, concentration of the amphiphile solution, and the chemical structure of both partners of the association. The prominent position of cholesterol among numerous related substances is emphasized.
