Abstract:
Lipoplasty accomplishes the opposite of classic plastic surgery results. Instead of a long incision, there is a tiny one; instead of undermining, tunneling is performed; instead of redraping and resection of the skin, lipoplasty uses skin retraction. Retraction versus traction is the key principle of liposuction. The history and principles of lipoplasty are presented.

Biological membranes are more than just a barrier separating cell cytoplasm from the outside environment. They are highly dynamic and help maintain the integrity and physiological stability of the cells as well as membrane-bound organelles. Membranes also play vital roles in cell-to-cell and intracellular communication.
A large chunk of any biological membrane is composed of phospholipids. These lipids have a heterogeneous distribution across different subcellular organelles and even between...
