On-chain analysis and cryptocurrency price forecasting using on-chain metrics by Sharma, Akshat

“…The project examines the effectiveness of on-chain metrics of 4 cryptocurrencies namely - Bitcoin, Ethereum, Dash and Dogecoin in predicting the price movements of cryptocurrencies using various forecasting models such as GARCH+SARIMAX, Bidirectional LSTM and Prophet model. The research findings reveal that on-chain metrics are useful in forecasting cryptocurrency prices, with the Prophet model achieving high levels of accuracy but only for short-term forecasts. …”

Understanding early molecular mechanisms of abnormal myelination in neurological conditions by characterising Ermin deficiency by Oh, Sher Li, Ziaei, Amin, Tan, Liang Juin, Utami, Kagistia Hana, Pouladi, Mahmoud A., Langley, Sarah Raye

“…Our observations suggest that there are common mechanisms between Ermin deficiency and biological processes influenced by genetic variants of genetic generalised epilepsy. Our findings demonstrate that in the Ermin-deficient model of abnormal myelination, early changes in transcription factor expression are associated with dysregulation in oligodendrocyte differentiation, synaptic organisation, and protein modification. …”
