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

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 ...
