Primate neuronal connections are sparse in cortex as compared to mouse
Cell Reports, 2021 Summary: Detailing how primate and mouse neurons differ is critical for creating generalized models of how neurons process information. We reconstruct 15,748 synapses in adult Rhesus macaques and mice and ask how connectivity differs on identified cell ...

Radioimmunoassay of human plasma Lp(a) lipoprotein
Journal of Lipid Research, 1977 A quantitative immunodiffusion assay demonstrated Lp(a) lipoprotein in 91% (911 of 1000) of subjects. In order to quantitate Lp(a) in all plasma, a sensitive and specific double antibody radioimmunoassay was developed.

Apocrine glands in the eyelid of primates contribute to the ocular host defense [PDF]
, 2004 Apocrine glands of Moll are regular components of primate eyelids. We studied the distribution and localization of these glands in three different primate species, the common marmoset, the rhesus monkey, and the hamadryas baboon.

Le jeu des illusions : discrimination entre apparence et réalité chez les primates
Revue de Primatologie, 2020 Perception is an essential process to gather information about our physical and social environment, and thus to adjust our behaviour to environmental changes. However, we are confronted every day with ambiguous situations in which things appear different

Infanticide and infant defence by males--modelling the conditions in primate multi-male groups [PDF]
, 2004 Infanticide by primate males was considered rare if groups contain more than one adult male because, owing to lower paternity certainty, a male should be less likely to benefit from infanticide.
