Facial attribute-controlled sketch-to-image translation with generative adversarial networks

EURASIP Journal on Image and Video Processing, 2020
Due to the rapid development of the generative adversarial networks (GANs) and convolution neural networks (CNN), increasing attention is being paid to face synthesis.

Efficient Generation of Multiple Sketch Styles Using a Single Network

IEEE Access, 2019
In the real world, different artists draw sketches of the same person with different artistic styles both in texture and shape. Our goal is to synthesize realistic face sketches of different styles while retaining the input face identity, only using a ...

Feature Encoder Guided Generative Adversarial Network for Face Photo-Sketch Synthesis

IEEE Access, 2019
Face photo-sketch synthesis often suffers from many problems, such as low clarity, facial distortion, contents loss, texture missing and color inconsistency in the synthesized images.

Fast Preprocessing for Robust Face Sketch Synthesis [PDF]

Proceedings of the Twenty-Sixth International Joint Conference on Artificial Intelligence, 2017
Exemplar-based face sketch synthesis methods usually meet the challenging problem that input photos are captured in different lighting conditions from training photos. The critical step causing the failure is the search of similar patch candidates for an input photo patch.

pH‐mediated activation of the lysosomal arginine sensor SLC38A9

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Cells monitor nutrient levels via the lysosomal transporter SLC38A9 to activate the mechanistic target of rapamycin complex 1 (mTORC1). This study reveals that SLC38A9 function is regulated by pH. We identified histidine 544 as a critical pH sensor that undergoes conformational changes to control amino acid efflux from lysosomes; therefore, it ...

The ubiquitin‐proteasome system and autophagy as guardians of the cellular proteome

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
This Perspective covers the three principles governing the crosstalk between the ubiquitin‐proteasome system and autophagy in cellular proteostasis: (1) a shared ubiquitin code routing substrates via shuttle factors or autophagy receptors; (2) spatial compartmentalization into phase‐separated degradation hubs and organelle‐specific modules (exemplified

Microbiome−host proteostasis crosstalk—An emerging perspective on mechanisms and interventions toward healthy longevity

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Proteostasis and the gut microbiota play a key role in shaping host physiology. Microbiota‐derived metabolites, vitamins, and RNA modulate host proteostasis. Findings from model systems, including C. elegans, indicate microbes can either stabilize or disrupt host proteostasis.

Lighting and Pose Robust Face Sketch Synthesis [PDF]

, 2010
Automatic face sketch synthesis has important applications in law enforcement and digital entertainment. Although great progress has been made in recent years, previous methods only work under well controlled conditions and often fail when there are variations of lighting and pose.

Engineered extracellular vesicles enriched with the miR‐214/199a cluster enhance the efficacy of chemotherapy in ovarian cancer

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
Loss of the miR‐214/199a cluster is associated with recurrence in ovarian cancer. Engineered small extracellular vesicles (m214‐sEVs) elevate miR‐214‐3p/miR‐199a‐5p in tumor cells, suppress β‐catenin, TLR4, and YKT6 signaling, reprogram tumor‐derived sEV cargo, reduce chemoresistance and migration, and enhance carboplatin efficacy and survival in ...
