    Schizophrenia-Associated Mitotic Arrest Deficient-1 (MAD1) Regulates the Polarity of Migrating Neurons in the Developing Neocortex

    Researchers addressed the molecular mechanisms underlying the association between Mitotic Arrest Deficient-1 Like 1 (MAD1L1) and the pathology of schizophrenia by examining the role of MAD1 in key neurodevelopmental processes in mice and human organoids.
