Differential stress in lipid bilayers. Left, a symmetric bilayer composed of two types of lipids with tensionless leaflets. Right, an asymmetric bilayer under differential stress, i.e., with non-zero leaflet tension. The areas of the lipids in the top and bottom leaflets are expanded and compressed, respectively, relative to their areas in the absence of leaflet tension. Adapted from [24].
