An international team, led by the Immunogenetics Research Laboratory (IRLab) at the University of the Basque Country (UPV/EHU) and the Biobizkaia Health Research Institute, has identified associations between modifications in the placenta and the risk of developing schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, and major depression disorder. The study, published in Nature Communications, was coordinated by Dr. Nora Fernandez-Jimenez, assistant professor at the UPV/EHU Faculty of Medicine and Nursing and researcher at Biobizkaia, with Dr. Ariadna Cilleros-Portet as the first author.

Researchers have shed new light on how a type of heart valve disease—aortic valve stenosis—progresses differently in males and females. The research paves the way for treatments that can be tailored to a patient's biological sex.

Researchers develop Symbolic Modeling—an AI-powered technique creating unified mathematical models for financial asset pricing. Compared to neural network, the generated mathematical expression by symbolic modeling is easier to comprehend and analyze. Testing across hundreds of company’s datasets shows lower prediction errors and reduced unexplainable return compared to classic asset pricing models like CAPM or Fama-French 3-Factor model.

POSTECH and University of Montpellier researchers demonstrate wafer-scale AA-stacked hexagonal boron nitride (hBN) growth.

A new data release from the Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument is now available for researchers to explore. The collection contains information on 18.7 million galaxies, quasars, and stars — the largest dataset of its kind ever shared.
