Tuberculosis in non-human primates of Assam: use of PrimaTB STAT-PAK Assay for detection of tuberculosis

open access: yesJournal of Threatened Taxa, 2012
Tuberculosis is the most important zoonotic bacterial disease in nonhuman primates. The present study investigated 27 carcasses of non human primates of Assam State Zoo and Department of Forest and Environment, Govt.

Functional Mapping of Neurodevelopmental Disease Pathways to Key Neurodevelopmental Processes Represented in the Developmental Neurotoxicity In Vitro Testing Battery

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
Human‐relevant methods are essential for modern chemical safety assessment. This study helps define the capabilities and boundaries of an in vitro testing battery for developmental neurotoxicity by exploring its biological applicability domain. By linking neurodevelopmental disease‐related pathways to key neurodevelopmental processes, the work enhances

ATM deficiency drives phenotypic diversity and Purkinje cell degeneration in a macaque model of ataxia-telangiectasia

open access: yesCell Reports Medicine
Summary: Ataxia-telangiectasia (A-T) is a hereditary neurodegenerative disorder caused by mutations in the ATM (ataxia-telangiectasia mutated) gene. Although existing rodent models reproduce some of the multi-systemic features of A-T, they notably fail ...

Simian Foamy Virus in Non-Human Primates and Cross-Species Transmission to Humans in Gabon: An Emerging Zoonotic Disease in Central Africa?

open access: yesViruses, 2013
It is now known that all human retroviruses have a non-human primate counterpart. It has been reported that the presence of these retroviruses in humans is the result of interspecies transmission.

Lymphoid‐Tissue‐on‐Chip Recapitulates Human Antibody Responses In Vitro

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
The presented lymphoid‐tissue‐on‐chip system allows culture of primary human tonsil cells at organotypic high density under perfusion for up to 4 weeks, emulates immune response to soluble vaccines and vaccination via peripheral antigen‐presenting cells and represents a useful tool to assess cellular interactions during homeostasis, immune responses ...

Using natural ecology to predict higher cognition in human and non-human primates [PDF]

open access: yesAnimal Behavior and Cognition, 2019
Many critical aspects of contemporary human cognitive functionality (e.g., reading, fixing a car) evolved historically in a time frame that biological natural selection cannot account for.

Adult Sex Ratio as a Demographic Feedback Linking Mating Systems, Parental Care, and Evolution

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
Breeding systems are some of the most diverse social behavior, and our team is investigation the evolutionary causes of this diversity. This review summarises our research carried out at the University of Bath. We argue that demographic components of wild populations, especially the adult sex ratio, plays a key role driving breeding system variation ...

Forelimb movements evoked by optogenetic stimulation of the macaque motor cortex

open access: yesNature Communications, 2020
Non-human primates are useful models for understanding the human brain but application of optogenetics to non-human primates is challenging. The authors used optogenetic intracortical microstimulation in the primary motor cortex of macaques to elicit ...

GHRHR Deficiency Enhances Retinal Ganglion Cell Survival and Visual Functions in Experimental Glaucoma by Inhibiting Ferroptosis

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
Glaucoma, a major cause of blindness, involves retinal ganglion cell (RGC) degeneration. This study shows growth hormone‐releasing hormone receptor (GHRHR) deficiency preserves RGC survival and restores vision, unlike activation which only aids survival.
