What's math got to do with patterns in fish? [PDF]
When you think of fish, what comes to mind? Maybe you think of pet goldfish, movie characters like Dory or Nemo, or trout in a local river. One of the things that all of these fish have in common is patterns in their skin. Nemo sports black and white stripes in his orange skin, and trout have spots. Even goldfish have a pattern -- it's just plain gold (

Skin Microstructure Segmentation and Aging Classification Using CNN-Based Models
The skin surface is composed of a network-like microstructure comprising wrinkles. Observing and analyzing the microstructure of the skin that changes with the skin condition and aging are simple, stable, and accurate evaluation methods for skin ...

Optimised low-loss multilayers for imaging with sub-wavelength resolution in the visible wavelength range [PDF]
We optimise the effective skin-depth and resolution of Ag-TiO2, Ag-SrTiO3, and Ag-GaP multilayers for imaging with sub-wavelength resolution. In terms of transmission and resolution the optimised multilayers outperform simple designs based on combined use of effective medium theory, impedance matching and Fabry-Perot resonances.

Altered modulation of lamin A/C-HDAC2 interaction and p21 expression during oxidative stress response in HGPS [PDF]
Defects in stress response are main determinants of cellular senescence and organism aging. In fibroblasts from patients affected by Hutchinson-Gilford progeria, a severe LMNA-linked syndrome associated with bone resorption, cardiovascular disorders, and

Mitigating stereotypical biases in text to image generative systems [PDF]
State-of-the-art generative text-to-image models are known to exhibit social biases and over-represent certain groups like people of perceived lighter skin tones and men in their outcomes. In this work, we propose a method to mitigate such biases and ensure that the outcomes are fair across different groups of people.

The Role of Resveratrol as Potent Antioxidant for Anti-aging Formulation Development: A Review [PDF]
The occurrence of skin aging process is not the same in each individuals. The changes in skin appearance can affect in self-confidence, especially for those who experience the aging process faster than their age called premature aging.

Genome-Wide Association Reveals Pigmentation Genes Play a Role in Skin Aging [PDF]
Loss of fine skin patterning is a sign of both aging and photoaging. Studies investigating the genetic contribution to skin patterning offer an opportunity to better understand a trait that influences both physical appearance and risk of keratinocyte ...
