Melanocyte depletion occurs in vitiligo and aging associated hair greying (canities). Currently available therapies are unsatisfactory due to limited efficacy or therapy-related adverse effects. The purpose of our study is uncover previously unknown pathogenic pathways for canities develop that can block these pathways. Transcriptome sequencing-based immune cellular profiling was performed on s...

Migration and Young Child Nutrition: Evidence from Rural China The unprecedented large scale rural-to-urban migration in China has left many rural children living apart from their parents. In this study, we examine the impact of parental migration on the nutritional status of young children in rural areas. We use the interaction terms between wage growth in provincial capital cities and initial...

The Effect of Sanctions on the Job Finding Rate: Evidence from Denmark This paper investigates the effect of sanctions of unemployment insurance benefits on the exit rate from unemployment for a sample of Danish unemployed. According to the findings are that even moderate sanctions have rather large effects. For both males and females the exit rate increases by more than 50% following impositio...

Do Study Abroad Programs Enhance the Employability of Graduates? Despite the great popularity of international educational mobility schemes, relatively little research has been conducted to explore their benefits. Using data on a large sample of recent Italian graduates, this paper investigates the extent to which participation in study abroad programs during university studies impacts subseque...

Recent work has shown that two-body motion can be analytically modeled using analytic continuation models, which utilize kinematic transformation scalar variables that can be differentiated to an arbitrary order using the well-known Leibniz product rule. This method allows for large integration step sizes while still maintaining high accuracy. With these arbitrary order time derivatives availab...

Do Business Cycles Have Long-Term Impact for Particular Cohorts? Will the current employment crisis produce lost generations with permanently lower labour market attachment? Taking an explicit cohort perspective and based on Danish data we do not find strong persistence in employment rates at the cohort level. Younger workers tend to be more exposed to business cycle fluctuations than older wor...

The Dynamics of the National Minimum Wage: Transitions Between Different Labour Market States An important policy issue is whether the National Minimum Wage (NMW) introduced in Britain in April 1999, is a stepping stone to higher wages or traps workers in a low-wage – nowage cycle. In this paper we utilise the longitudinal element of the Labour Force Survey over the period 1999 to 2003 to model...

s The purpose of this paper is to explain the determinants of migration in Korea with the ratio of farm to unskilled urban wages using the time series data according to the Todaro hypothesis with the VAR approaches for capturing the short-run behavior of each variable and that analyzes the overall fluctuation of internal migration based on white noise disturbances. The test results show that th...

Hepatitis C virus core protein is the viral nucleocapsid of hepatitis C virus. Interaction of core with cellular membranes like endoplasmic reticulum (ER) and lipid droplets (LD) appears to be involved in viral assembly. However, how these interactions with different cellular membranes are regulated is not well understood. In this study, we investigated how palmitoylation, a post-translational ...

The Shape of the Income Distribution and Economic Growth: Evidence from Swedish Labor Market Regions We analyze the association between inequality and growth across 72 labor market regions in Sweden 1990-2006. Highly accurate measures of growth and inequality (gini, Q3, p9075, p5010) are derived from population register data. The regional set-up also reduces problems with omitted variable bias ...
