Enhancing search efficiency by means of a search filter for finding all studies on animal experimentation in PubMed [PDF]

, 2010
Collecting and analysing all available literature before starting an animal experiment is important and it is indispensable when writing a systematic review (SR) of animal research.

Adaptive Evolution Coupled with Retrotransposon Exaptation Allowed for the Generation of a Human‐Protein‐Specific Coding Gene That Promotes Cancer Cell Proliferation and Metastasis in Both Haematological Malignancies and Solid Tumours: The Extraordinary Case of MYEOV Gene

Scientifica, Volume 2015, Issue 1, 2015., 2015
The incidence of cancer in human is high as compared to chimpanzee. However previous analysis has documented that numerous human cancer‐related genes are highly conserved in chimpanzee. Till date whether human genome includes species‐specific cancer‐related genes that could potentially contribute to a higher cancer susceptibility remains obscure.

ELFN1-AS1: A Novel Primate Gene with Possible MicroRNA Function Expressed Predominantly in Human Tumors

BioMed Research International, Volume 2014, Issue 1, 2014., 2014
Human gene LOC100505644 uncharacterized LOC100505644 [Homo sapiens] (Entrez Gene ID 100505644) is abundantly expressed in tumors but weakly expressed in few normal tissues. Till now the function of this gene remains unknown. Here we identified the chromosomal borders of the transcribed region and the major splice form of the LOC100505644‐specific ...

Placental Evolution within the Supraordinal Clades of Eutheria with the Perspective of Alternative Animal Models for Human Placentation

Advances in Biology, Volume 2014, Issue 1, 2014., 2014
Here a survey of placental evolution is conducted. Placentation is a key factor for the evolution of placental mammals that had evolved an astonishing diversity. As a temporary organ that does not allow easy access, it is still not well understood. The lack of data also is a restriction for better understanding of placental development, structure, and ...

Retrophylogenomics place tarsiers on the evolutionary branch of anthropoids [PDF]

, 2013
One of the most disputed issues in primate evolution and thus of our own primate roots, is the phylogenetic position of the Southeast Asian tarsier.

But how does it smell? An investigation of olfactory bulb size among living and fossil primates and other euarchontoglirans [PDF]

Altres ajuts: CERCA Programme/Generalitat de CatalunyaPrimates are often considered to have a poor sense of smell. While all studies identify small olfactory bulbs (OB; the region of the brain responsible for processing scent) among haplorhines, whether ...

Rodent monocyte‐derived macrophages do not express CD163: Comparative analysis using macrophages from living boreoeutherians

Developmental Dynamics, EarlyView.
Abstract Background CD163 is a scavenger receptor predominantly expressed on the surfaces of macrophages in various mammalian species and is a marker of anti‐inflammatory (M2‐like) macrophages. High density of CD163‐positive tumor‐associated macrophages (TAMs) is associated with worse prognosis in various patient tumors.

Exploring the Innate Immunological Response of an Alternative Nonhuman Primate Model of Infectious Disease; the Common Marmoset

Journal of Immunology Research, Volume 2014, Issue 1, 2014., 2014
The common marmoset (Callithrix jacchus) is increasingly being utilised as a nonhuman primate model for human disease, ranging from autoimmune to infectious disease. In order to fully exploit these models, meaningful comparison to the human host response is necessary.

Costs and benefits of solitary living in mammals

Journal of Zoology, Volume 323, Issue 1, Page 9-18, May 2024.
Seven main factors that influence the social organization of a species. + indicates which condition favours solitary living, − which favours group living. Combined, these factors influence whether solitary or group living leads to a net benefit for females. In mammals, social organization is mainly determined by how females distribute themselves, while

Mobile DNA elements in primate and human evolution [PDF]

, 2007
Roughly 50% of the primate genome consists of mobile, repetitive DNA sequences such as Alu and LINE1 elements. The causes and evolutionary consequences of mobile element insertion, which have received considerable attention during the past decade, are ...
