Black Hole's 1/N Hair

, 2012
According to the standard view classically black holes carry no hair, whereas quantum hair is at best exponentially weak. We show that suppression of hair is an artifact of the semi-classical treatment and that in the quantum picture hair appears as an ...

Artificial hair implantation for hair restoration

Journal of Dermatological Treatment, 2021
Androgenetic alopecia (AGA) is the most common cause of hair loss in men and women. Artificial hair implantation is considered an alternative treatment when the donor area is depleted or unsuitable for hair transplantation. The use of artificial hair implants remains controversial, particularly because this practice has been banned by the US FDA.To ...

Adverse prognosis gene expression patterns in metastatic castration‐resistant prostate cancer

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
We aggregated a cohort of 1012 mCRPC tissue samples from 769 patients and investigated the association of gene expression‐based pathways with clinical outcomes. Loss of AR signaling, high proliferation, and a glycolytic phenotype were independently prognostic for poor outcomes, and an adverse transcriptional feature score incorporating these pathways ...

Fast nuclear staining of head hair roots as a screening method for successful STR analysis in forensics [PDF]

, 2014
The success rate of STR profiling of hairs found at a crime scene is quite low and negative results of hair analysis are frequently reported. To increase the success rate of DNA analysis of hairs in forensics, nuclei in hair roots can be counted after ...

Genome-wide study of hair colour in UK Biobank explains most of the SNP heritability

Nature Communications, 2018
Natural hair colour within European populations is a complex genetic trait. Previous work has established that MC1R variants are the principal genetic cause of red hair colour, but with variable penetrance.

Plasma lipidomic and metabolomic profiles in high‐grade glioma patients before and after 72‐h presurgery water‐only fasting

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
Presurgery 72‐h fasting in GB patients leads to adaptations of plasma lipids and polar metabolites. Fasting reduces lysophosphatidylcholines and increases free fatty acids, shifts triglycerides toward long‐chain TGs and increases branched‐chain amino acids, alpha aminobutyric acid, and uric acid.

Overview and Algorithmic Approach to Management of Male and Female Pattern Hair Loss

Indian Journal of Plastic Surgery, 2021
Male and female pattern hair loss (PHL) is an innocuous condition, but it has a major psychological impact on the sufferer. This paper aims to provide a simple algorithmic approach toward diagnosis, staging, and treatment of PHL in males and females.

Myosin VIIA is required for aminoglycoside accumulation in cochlear hair cells. [PDF]

, 1997
Myosin VIIA is expressed by sensory hair cells and has a primary structure predicting a role in membrane trafficking and turnover, processes that may underlie the susceptibility of hair cells to aminoglycoside antibiotics. [3H]Gentamicin accumulation and

Hair Analysis in Forensic Toxicology: An Updated Review with a Special Focus on Pitfalls.

Current pharmaceutical design, 2018
BACKGROUND The detection of drugs in hair analysis has progressively emerged as a consequence of the enhanced sensitivity of analytical techniques used in forensic toxicology; a greater advantage in using this matrix with respect to classical ones (i.e ...
