Multi-species, multi-transcription factor binding highlights conserved control of tissue-specific biological pathways

eLife, 2014
As exome sequencing gives way to genome sequencing, the need to interpret the function of regulatory DNA becomes increasingly important. To test whether evolutionary conservation of cis-regulatory modules (CRMs) gives insight into human gene regulation ...

Japanese macaque phonatory physiology

Journal of Experimental Biology, 2018
While the call repertoire and its communicative function is relatively well explored in Japanese macaques (Macaca fuscata), little empirical data is available on the physics and the physiology of this species' vocal production mechanism. Here, a 6 year old female Japanese macaque was trained to phonate under an operant conditioning paradigm.

Macaque–human interactions and the societal perceptions of macaques in Singapore [PDF]

American Journal of Primatology, 2009
AbstractHumans and long‐tailed macaques (Macaca fascicularis) interface in several locations in Singapore. We investigated six of these interface zones to assess the level of conflict between the two species. We observed macaque‐to‐human interactions and distributed questionnaires to residents and visitors of nature reserves.

Unraveling the Morphological and Functional Maturation Mechanisms Underlying Human Neural Development Using iPSCs‐Derived Neuronal Model

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Using human induced pluripotent stem cells (hiPSCs)‐derived neuronal model, Tian and colleagues reveal that voltage‐gated calcium channels Cav1.2 and Cav1.3, and their mediated calcium ion influx, are essential for early morphogenesis of human neuronal development, while ECEL1 underlies human neuronal functional developmental maturation through CALM3 ...

Effect of Prior Direction Expectation on the Accuracy and Precision of Smooth Pursuit Eye Movements

Frontiers in Systems Neuroscience, 2019
The integration of sensory with top–down cognitive signals for generating appropriate sensory–motor behaviors is an important issue in understanding the brain’s information processes.

Distributed acoustic cues for caller identity in macaque vocalization [PDF]

Royal Society Open Science, 2015
Individual primates can be identified by the sound of their voice. Macaques have demonstrated an ability to discern conspecific identity from a harmonically structured ‘coo’ call.

Comparative miRNA transcriptomics of macaques and mice reveals MYOC is an inhibitor for Cryptococcus neoformans invasion into the brain

Emerging Microbes and Infections, 2022
Cryptococcal meningoencephalitis (CM) is emerging as an infection in HIV/AIDS patients shifted from primarily ART­naive to ART-experienced individuals, as well as patients with COVID-19 and immunocompetent hosts. This fungal infection is mainly caused by

Single‐Cell Profiling Across Immune Tissues and Organs Reveals Immunosenescence Signatures in Male Rhesus Monkeys

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Single‐cell profiling across bone marrow, spleen, mesenteric lymph, and blood in rhesus monkeys reveals organ Immunosenescence. GZMB rises with age, particularly in cytotoxic and terminally exhausted CD8+ T cells, and BHLHE40 emerges as a key transcription factor enriched across multiple CD8+ subsets, regulating pro‐inflammatory and exhaustion‐related ...

Collective decision-making in nocturnal huddling sleep: The influence of social factors on fans and fandom in Tibetan macaques

Global Ecology and Conservation
Social animals frequently exhibit huddling sleep behaviors in response to nocturnal ecological pressures. However, there remain significant gaps in our understanding of the decision-making process promoting huddle sleep.

Positional Inference in Rhesus Macaques

Animal Cognition, 2020
Understanding how organisms make transitive inferences is critical to understanding their general ability to learn serial relationships. In this context, transitive inference (TI) can be understood as a specific heuristic that applies broadly to many different serial learning tasks, which have been the focus of hundreds of studies involving dozens of ...
