Breast Augmentation for Ptosis: Effective Upward Rotation of the Nipple [PDF]

Archives of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery, 2014
Background For the correction of small ptotic breasts, augmentation mastopexy provides a better shape than other techniques, but its periareolar or vertical scar is a limiting factor. Subglandular augmentation tends to increase ptosis.

Phosphatidylinositol 4‐kinase as a target of pathogens—friend or foe?

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
This graphical summary illustrates the roles of phosphatidylinositol 4‐kinases (PI4Ks). PI4Ks regulate key cellular processes and can be hijacked by pathogens, such as viruses, bacteria and parasites, to support their intracellular replication. Their dual role as essential host enzymes and pathogen cofactors makes them promising drug targets.
