How humans move is an open question, according to Mark Latash, distinguished professor of kinesiology at Penn State.

Scientists found that embryonic skin cells “whisper” through faint mechanical tugs, using the same force-sensing proteins that make our ears ultrasensitive. By syncing these micro-movements, the cells ...

Cells in the body have to move around in order to do their jobs. During development, for instance, cells are distributed to create and grow tissue. And in the event of an immune response, different ...

Scientists at Duke University made a groundbreaking discovery. They found pancreatic alpha cells can produce GLP-1. GLP-1 is similar to Ozempic. This hormone regulates blood sugar. It may offer a ...

A reproductive medicine professor described the work as an “exciting proof of concept” that may change approaches to ...

Scientists have developed functional eggs from ordinary human skin cells, a proof of concept that could open up new ways to ...

Imagine tiny fists punching their way through your body. For some cancer patients, this may be the reality. Melanoma cells can mechanically tunnel their way through tissue using fleshy membrane ...
