Primate energy input and the evolutionary transition to energy-dense diets in humans [PDF]
, 2017 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.

Autoradiographic mapping of synaptic vesicle glycoprotein 2A in non-human primate and human brain.
Synapse, 2020 Synaptic vesicle glycoprotein 2A (SV2A) has been previously characterized as an imaging biomarker for assessment of synaptic density in positron emission tomography (PET) studies of patients with neurological conditions.

Ecotourism disturbances to non-human primates [PDF]
Zoological Research, 2013 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,

Anticarin β Inhibits Human Glioma Progression by Suppressing Cancer Stemness via STAT3
Frontiers in Oncology, 2021 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 ...

Coding of self and other's future choices in dorsal premotor cortex during social interaction [PDF]
, 2018 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

An effort to use human-based exome capture methods to analyze chimpanzee and macaque exomes. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2012 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 ...

Biomechanical, ultrastructural, and electrophysiological characterization of the non-human primate experimental glaucoma model. [PDF]
, 2017 Laser-induced experimental glaucoma (ExGl) in non-human primates (NHPs) is a common animal model for ocular drug development. While many features of human hypertensive glaucoma are replicated in this model, structural and functional changes in the ...

Aging in Non-Human Primate Society: What Relevance for Social Gerontology?
Anthropology & Aging, 2023 Wild animals were once thought not to age, as their deaths were viewed as the consequences of constant exposure to the perennial risks of nature. Studies of non-human aging were largely confined to biological investigations, focusing upon short-lived ...
