A Style-Based Generator Architecture for Generative Adversarial Networks
, 2019 We propose an alternative generator architecture for generative adversarial networks, borrowing from style transfer literature. The new architecture leads to an automatically learned, unsupervised separation of high-level attributes (e.g., pose and ...

The local hypothalamic–pituitary–adrenal axis in cultured human dermal papilla cells
BMC Molecular and Cell Biology, 2020 Background Stress is an important cause of skin disease, including hair loss. The hormonal response to stress is due to the HPA axis, which comprises hormones such as corticotropin releasing factor (CRF), adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH), and cortisol.
