Effect of aluminum on the in vitro activity of acid phosphatases of four potato clones grown in three growth systems

Biologia Plantarum, 2011
The aim of this study was to assess the effect of aluminum on the in vitro activity of acid phosphatases (APases) of four potato clones, Macaca and Dakota Rose (Al-sensitive), and SMIC148-A and Solanum microdontum (Al-tolerant), grown in vitro, in ...

Dual Blockade of LILRB1 and LILRB2 Enhances Antiviral Immune Responses in SIV Infection

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Dual LILRB1/B2 blockade with mac20G10 reshapes myeloid activation during acute SIV infection by targeting LILRB1 and LILRB2 on myeloid cells. This treatment enhances CD80 expression on selected myeloid subsets and increases plasma IFN‐λ, IL‐8, and IL‐1RA.

Molecular prevalence and subtyping of Cryptosporidium hominis among captive long-tailed macaques (Macaca fascicularis) and rhesus macaques (Macaca mulatta) from Hainan Island, southern China

Parasites & Vectors, 2019
Background Cryptosporidium is an important zoonotic parasite that is commonly found in non-human primates (NHPs). Consequently, there is the potential for transmission of this pathogen from NHPs to humans.

Engineered Transformer Base Editor with Enhanced Editing Efficiency

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
A highly efficient transformer base editor system achieves robust genomic editing in a humanized mouse model. This work establishes a versatile and translatable platform, opening new avenues for precision gene therapy. ABSTRACT Canonical cytosine base editors (CBEs) achieve precise C‐to‐T conversions without inducing DNA double‐strand breaks (DSBs ...

A rhesus macaque model of α‐dystroglycanopathy caused by a POMT1 splice altering variant

Animal Models and Experimental Medicine, EarlyView.
Rhesus macaques homozygous for a naturally occurring spice altering variant in the POMT1 gene develop lissencephaly, microphthalmia, and muscular contracture. The presentation models severe presentation of the human Walker‐Warburg syndrome. Abstract Background Biallelic mutations in genes associated with α‐dystroglycan glycosylation manifest in a ...

Malaria parasites in macaques in Thailand: stump-tailed macaques (Macaca arctoides) are new natural hosts for Plasmodium knowlesi, Plasmodium inui, Plasmodium coatneyi and Plasmodium fieldi

Malaria Journal, 2020
Background Certain species of macaques are natural hosts of Plasmodium knowlesi and Plasmodium cynomolgi, which can both cause malaria in humans, and Plasmodium inui, which can be experimentally transmitted to humans.

The morphology of the oval window in Paranthropus robustus compared to humans and other modern primates

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract The oval window (OW) is an opening connecting the inner and middle ear. Its area has been shown to consistently scale with body mass (BM) in primates, and has been used alongside semi‐circular canal (SCC) size to differentiate Homo sapiens and fossil hominins, including Paranthropus robustus.

Are there morpho‐acoustic patterns of adaptation in nonhuman primate ears? Testing the role of ecology and habitat in shaping ear morphology and function

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Analysis of the variation in the bony structures of the inner and middle ear provides critical insights into functional morphology, as well as adaptive morphology across primates. In this study, we investigated whether ear morphology patterns are related to the ecological characteristics of species and their habitats to test two acoustic ...

Sequence difference of angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 between nonhuman primates affects its binding-affinity with SARS-CoV-2 S receptor binding domain

Biosafety and Health, 2022
Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) has caused many deaths and contributed to a tremendous public health concern worldwide since 2020. Angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) binds to the SARS-CoV-2 virus as a receptor.
