Challenges of modeling pristane‐induced lupus in non‐human primates [PDF]
Animal Models and Experimental MedicineA lupus‐like condition induced by intraperitoneal administration of pristane (2,6,10,14‐tetramethylpentadecane) in mice is widely used as a model of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). Due to their phylogenetic distance from humans, murine models are not

The non‐human primate model of tuberculosis [PDF]
Journal of Medical Primatology, 2012 AbstractNon‐human primates (NHPs) are used to model human disease owing to their remarkably similar genomes, physiology, and immune systems. Recently, there has been an increased interest in modeling tuberculosis (TB) in NHPs. Macaques are susceptible to infection with different strains of Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb), producing the full spectrum ...

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 ...
