Variable responses of human and non-human primate gut microbiomes to a Western diet [PDF]
BACKGROUND: The human gut microbiota interacts closely with human diet and physiology. To better understand the mechanisms behind this relationship, gut microbiome research relies on complementing human studies with manipulations of animal models ...

Anticarin β Inhibits Human Glioma Progression by Suppressing Cancer Stemness via STAT3
Glioma is the most common form of malignant brain cancer. It is very difficult to cure malignant glioma because of the presence of glioma stem cells, which are a barrier to cure, have high tumorigenesis, associated with drug resistance, and responsible ...

Behavioral responses to injury and death in wild Barbary macaques (Macaca sylvanus) [PDF]
The wounding or death of a conspecific has been shown to elicit varied behavioral responses throughout thanatology. Recently, a number of reports have presented contentious evidence of epimeletic behavior towards the dying and dead among non-human ...

Ecotourism disturbances to non-human primates [PDF]
In tandem with economic growth and rising living conditions, ecotourism has increasingly gained popularity among the Chinese public. Non-human primates, as charismatic animals and the closest relatives of human beings, have shown a strong affinity in attracting the general public and raising money, and for that reason a variety of monkey parks, valleys,

Non-Human Primate Models of Tuberculosis
ABSTRACT Among the animal models of tuberculosis (TB), the non-human primates, particularly rhesus macaques ( Macaca fascicularis ) and cynomolgus macaques ( Macaca mulatta ), share the greatest anatomical and physiological similarities with humans.

Cryobiology of non-human primate oocytes [PDF]
The responses to various stresses involved with cryopreservation protocols were investigated using non-human primate oocytes. Fluorescence microscopy was used to assess the status of the F-actin microfilament system of rhesus monkey oocytes after exposure to different concentrations of glycerol.

Primate energy input and the evolutionary transition to energy-dense diets in humans [PDF]
Humans and other large-brained hominins have been proposed to increase energy turnover during their evolutionary history. Such increased energy turnover is plausible, given the evolution of energy-rich diets, but requires empirical confirmation.

An effort to use human-based exome capture methods to analyze chimpanzee and macaque exomes. [PDF]
Non-human primates have emerged as an important resource for the study of human disease and evolution. The characterization of genomic variation between and within non-human primate species could advance the development of genetically defined non-human ...

Coding of self and other's future choices in dorsal premotor cortex during social interaction [PDF]
Representing others’ intentions is central to primate social life. We explored the role of dorsal premotor cortex (PMd) in discriminating between self and others’ behavior while two male rhesus monkeys performed a non-match-to-goal task in a monkey-human
