Malaria disrupts the rhesus macaque gut microbiome

open access: yesFrontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology, 2023
Previous studies have suggested that a relationship exists between severity and transmissibility of malaria and variations in the gut microbiome, yet only limited information exists on the temporal dynamics of the gut microbial community during a ...

Cutaneous thermoreceptors in primates and sub‐primates

open access: yesThe Journal of Physiology, 1969
1. Cutaneous thermoreceptors were examined electrophysiologically in primates (monkey, baboon) and in sub‐primates (dog and rat) by recording from single units dissected from peripheral nerves.2. Thermal stimuli were delivered from thermodes in contact with the skin.3. Primate ‘cold’ receptors had spot‐like receptive fields and were found in both hairy

Collision‐Resilient Winged Drones Enabled by Tensegrity Structures

open access: yesAdvanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
Based on structures of birds such as the woodpeck, this article presents the collision‐resilient aerial robot, SWIFT. SWIFT leverages tensegrity structures in the fuselage and wings which allow it to undergo large deformations in a crash, without sustaining damage. Experiments show that SWIFT can reduce impact forces by 70% over conventional structures.

The evolution of primate vocal communication: a social route

open access: yesRevue de Primatologie, 2023
There is no doubt that different factors determine the evolutionary trajectory of a species' communication abilities. Beyond habitat, social life is likely a selection pressure.

Fatal Infection of a Pet Monkey with Human herpesvirus 1

open access: yesEmerging Infectious Diseases, 2002
Concerns have been raised about pet monkeys as a potential threat to humans. We report the opposite situation, a danger to pets that arises from humans.

Marburg Virus Glycoprotein Is a Remarkable Virulent Factor Linked to Hemorrhagic Pathology: Evidence from Multimodal Experimental Systems

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
By integrating data from in vitro, ex vivo, and in vivo models, our research identifies the MARV glycoprotein as a remarkable hemorrhagic factor, filling a major gap in this important field. It also provides practical experimental tools for the basic research on viral pathogenesis and applied research aimed at antiviral intervention for hemorrhagic ...

A Characterization of Aerosolized Sudan Virus Infection in African Green Monkeys, Cynomolgus Macaques, and Rhesus Macaques

open access: yesViruses, 2012
Filoviruses are members of the genera Ebolavirus, Marburgvirus, and “Cuevavirus”. Because they cause human disease with high lethality and could potentially be used as a bioweapon, these viruses are classified as CDC Category A ...

Self‐Assembling Hybrid Hydrogel Reprograms the Stromal Vascular Fraction to Treat Osteoarthritis

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
This study presents a bioinspired injectable hydrogel that enhances the therapeutic potential of stem cell‐rich stromal vascular fraction for treating osteoarthritis. By reprogramming cell behavior through epigenetic modulation, the hydrogel promotes cartilage regeneration and reduces joint damage in a rat model, offering a promising new approach for ...

La visite au zoo et l’apprentissage de la distinction humaine

open access: yesRevue d'anthropologie des connaissances, 2012
The zoo might be regarded as a cultural device that structures the relationships between human beings and captive animals. In this study we searched to identify the patterns that connect visitors and captive animals during the zoo visit experience.

A Toolkit for Targeted Neuromodulation of Striatal Direct Pathway Neurons Rescues Parkinsonian Motor Deficits in Mice

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
An adeno‐associated virus (AAV) toolkit enables selective anatomical and functional targeting of striatal D1‐MSNs through retrograde transduction. Enhanced capsids and engineered enhancers drive robust transgene expression across murine and primate models.
