Fairness in Non-human Primates?

Social Justice Research, 2012
Humans have a sense of fairness, i.e. an interest in the ideal of equity. This sense allows them to compare their own efforts and subsequent outcomes with those of others, and thus to evaluate and react to inequity. The question is whether our closest living relatives, the non-human primates, show the behavioural characteristics that might qualify as ...

Non-human primate malaria in travellers

Journal of Travel Medicine, 2023
Emerging zoonotic malaria caused by Plasmodium knowlesi, Plasmodium cynomolgi and Plasmodium inui occurred in humans amid a decline of malaria prevalence in Thailand during the past decade. Diagnosis of non-human primate malaria in ecotourists is challenging.

Non-human primates in prion diseases

Cell and Tissue Research, 2022
The fascinating history of prion diseases is intimately linked to the use of nonhuman primates as experimental models, which brought so fundamental and founding information about transmissibility, pathogenesis, and resistance of prions. These models are still of crucial need for risk assessment of human health and may contribute to pave a new way ...

Applications of chemogenetics in non-human primates

Current Opinion in Pharmacology, 2022
Due to its low invasiveness and controllability, chemogenetic approaches offer a highly attractive option to modulate neuronal activity in basic research and future clinical applications. Chemogenetics have revolutionized neuroscience research by facilitating manipulations of selective brain circuits.

MIC genes in non‐human primates

European Journal of Immunogenetics, 1999
MIC molecules belong to the immunoglobulin superfamily, are encoded within the MHC region and are recognized by γ/δ T‐cell receptors. In humans, at least two functional genes (MIC‐A* and MIC‐B*) and two pseudogenes (MIC‐C* and MIC‐D*) exist. Functional MIC gene copies are characterized by a high degree of polymorphism, while pseudogenes bear several ...

Colobomas in Non-human Primates

Folia Primatologica, 1971
Four cases of coloboma affecting various ocular structures in non-human primates are described. The gross and histologic features of each case are illustrated, and a possible reason for the lack of reports of this condition is discussed.

Non-human primate dendritic cells

Journal of Leukocyte Biology, 2011
ABSTRACTNon-human primates (NHP) are essential translational models for biomedical research. Dendritic cells (DC) are a group of antigen presenting cells (APC) that play pivotal roles in the immunobiology of health and disease and are attractive cells for adoptive immunotherapy to stimulate and suppress immunity.

Hydrogel keratophakia in non-human primates

Current Eye Research, 1981
We performed sixteen keratophakia procedures in nine non-human primates using various hydrogel lenses (38% to 79% water) as donor corneas (lenticules). The lenses were treated as if they were donor human corneas using currently practiced keratophakia procedures including microkeratome resection of the recipient cornea, staining of the lenses before ...

Characterization of adrenomedullin in non-human primates

Biochemical and Biophysical Research Communications, 2004
Adrenomedullin (AM) is a 52 amino acid peptide involved in the pathophysiology of several human diseases. Here we show the gene structure, organ distribution, and regulated expression of AM in monkey. The monkey AM (mAM) gene is located on the short arm of chromosome 9 and it codes for a 185 amino acid preprohormone, which contains two amidated ...

Sequential learning in non-human primates

Trends in Cognitive Sciences, 2001
Sequential learning plays a role in a variety of common tasks, such as human language processing, animal communication, and the learning of action sequences. In this article, we investigate sequential learning in non-human primates from a comparative perspective, focusing on three areas: the learning of arbitrary, fixed sequences; statistical learning;
