Microbiome Studies in Non-human Primates [PDF]
Current HIV/AIDS Reports, 2021 Observations of differing bacterial, intestinal microbiomes in people living with HIV have propelled interest in contributions of the microbiome to HIV disease. Non-human primate (NHP) models of HIV infection provide a controlled setting for assessing contributions of the microbiome by standardizing environmental confounders.

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 ...

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 ...

Neuroimaging of Non-Human Primates [PDF]
The Open Neuroimaging Journal, 2011 Welcome to this special issue of the Open Neuroimaging Journal which focuses on neuroimaging studies of non-human primates (NHPs) as presented by leaders in the field. NHPs are important animal models because of their genetic, ontogenic, and physiological similarities to humans.
