Lisa Noelle Cooper, an associate professor of mammalian anatomy at the Northeast Ohio Medical University, agreed with the assessment, explaining: “Given that the defect is in both the left and ...

While all types of ancient remains are valuable to science, teeth— protected by enamel, the hardest substance in the body—are more likely to survive the ravages of time, pressure, and erosion. In fact ...

"Normally, dolphins develop their fingers within the flipper and no cells between the fingers die off," added Lisa Noelle Cooper, an associate professor of mammalian anatomy and neurobiology at ...

THE work under notice 1 is designed, primarily for medical students, as a guide to a course of practical work in mammalian comparative anatomy and histology, to accompany a series of lectures on ...

Lisa Noelle Cooper, an associate professor of mammalian anatomy and neurobiology at the Northeast Ohio Medical University, agreed that the dolphin’s defect is likely rooted in its genes.

The fossils of mammal-like relatives could help explain how early species survived the mass extinction of the Triassic and evolved from reptiles.
