Do near-bedtime usage of smartphones and problematic internet usage really impact sleep? A study based on objectively recorded usage data حسب Aftab Alam (5158601)

"…</p><h3> Results</h3><p dir="ltr">The multivariate linear regression showed that the increase in PIU (β = −0.231, p < 0.001) and smartphone usage two hours before sleep (β = −0.246, p < 0.001) led to decrease in sleep duration. Regarding sleep distraction, multivariate linear regression analysis revealed that two hours before sleep was a significant and positive predictor of sleep distraction (β = 0.197, p = 0.003), whereas PIU was not significant. …"

Comparative Transcriptome Analysis Reveals That Exendin-4 Improves Steatosis in HepG2 Cells by Modulating Signaling Pathways Related to Lipid Metabolism حسب Khaoula Errafii (10914446)

"…We compared the transcriptome profiles of untreated steatotic, and Ex-4-treated steatotic cells, and used Ingenuity Pathway Analysis (IPA) to identify the signaling pathways and associated genes involved in the protective effect of Ex-4. Ex-4 treatment significantly reduces steatosis. RNA-seq analysis revealed 209 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) between steatotic and untreated cells, with farnesoid X receptor/retinoid X receptor (FXR/RXR) (p = 8.9 × 10⁻⁷) activation being the top regulated canonical pathway identified by IPA. …"
