The study, published in Nature Physics, offers new ways to study spin dynamics in non-superconducting materials, potential superconductive materials and those materials that pose barriers to conventional study, such as those with radioactive properties."

New Brunswick, NJ - According to Genetic Engineering & Biotechnology News, "Researchers at Rutgers report that a gene associated with schizophrenia plays a role in brain development and may help to explain the biological process of the disease. The team published its study ("NOS1AP, a protein implicated in schizophrenia, controls radial migration of cortical neurons") in Biological Psychiatry. Bonnie Firestein, Ph.D., professor in the department of cell biology and neuroscience, says too much protein expressed by the NOS1AP gene, which has been associated with schizophrenia, causes abnormalities in brain structure and faulty connections between nerve cells that prevent them from communicating properly."
