A 2D atlas of topological materials

University of the Basque Country
Peer-Reviewed Publication

EHU researchers Urko Petralanda and Luis Elcoro, in collaboration with DIPC researchers, report the article titled “Two-dimensional topological quantum chemistry and catalog of topological materials”, published in Science, that maps the electronic properties of nearly 9,000 single-layer materials and identifies more than 4,000 topologically non-trivial or obstructed entries.

DNL343 and disease progression in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis

JAMA Network
Peer-Reviewed Publication

About the Study: In this randomized clinical trial, despite the relevance of the eIF2b activation pathway in ALS disease biology and supporting evidence of proof of mechanism and optimal dose selection in a prior phase 1B ALS clinical trial, 200-mg/d DNL343 did not show evidence of slowing disease progression in ALS, highlighting the need for alternative therapeutic approaches.
