Metabolic changes to GLUT-4 levels in urban Chacma baboons on the Cape Peninsula: raiding their way to type 2 diabetes? [PDF]

, 2013
The Chacma baboons (Papio ursinus) of the Cape Peninsula are established raiders of human food, leading to widespread conflict between this intelligent, adaptable species and humans.

Advances and Perspectives in Graphene‐Based Quantum Dots Enabled Neuromorphic Devices

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Graphene‐based QDs are zero‐dimensional carbon nanomaterials with pronounced quantum confinement and tunable electronic structures. Herein, we summarize their synthesis strategies and functionalization methods, and highlight their functional roles and operating mechanisms in devices, as well as recent advances in neuromorphic electronics. We anticipate

Noninvasive Focal Gene Delivery into the Cerebellum of Non‐Human Primates using Focused Ultrasound

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Focal and non‐invasive viral vector delivery in non‐human primates remains a major challenge in translational neuroscience. Low‐intensity focused ultrasound was used to transiently open the blood–brain barrier and enable targeted gene delivery to the cerebellum.

Indução do Uso de Ferramentas como Enriquecimento Ambiental para Macacos-prego (Sapajus libidinosus) Cativos

Psicologia: Teoria e Pesquisa
RESUMO Testamos o efeito de um aparato que pudesse induzir o uso de ferramentas no comportamento de seis macacos-prego cativos. Utilizamos “animal focal” para o tempo gasto em estados comportamentais gerais e estados indicativos de estresse ...

Optogenetics in primates: monkey see monkey look [PDF]

, 2011
Optogenetics has emerged as a powerful tool for studying the neural basis of simple behaviors in rodents and small animals. In the primate model, however, optogenetics has had limited utility because optical methods have not been able to drive behavior ...

Reprogramming Antitumor Immunity: NK Cell Strategies to Navigate the Immunosuppressive Tumor Microenvironment

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Tumor immune escape is a major barrier to durable cancer immunotherapy, as advanced malignancies create a tumor microenvironment (TME) that preferentially exhausts and disables T cell responses. While most approved cell therapies are T cell‐based, this limitation motivates the exploration of an alternative effector cell platform.

Primate communication

, 2013
An influential position in linguistics is that human language has not evolved primarily as a communication device, but as a “system of thought.” This system enables humans to refer to the outside world in ways that cannot be reduced to a “peculiar nature belonging to [a] thing” and to construct an infinite number of internal structures by merging ...

Multiscale Architecture and Mechanics of the Cell Nucleus: Implications for Disease, Bioengineering and Nanomedicine

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Nuclear mechanical properties are inherently scale‐dependent, arising from a hierarchical architecture that spans DNA, chromatin, the nuclear envelope, and condensates. Experimental techniques and theoretical models are integrated into a cohesive multiscale framework linking nanoscale structural features to organelle‐level mechanical behavior.

Natural Resistance to Ovarian Hyperstimulation Syndrome in Estrildid Finches Reveals Macrophage GPR183 as a Potential Therapeutic Target

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Ovarian macrophage depletion reverses OHSS resistance in estrildid finches and exacerbates OHSS symptoms in rats. Activating macrophage GPR183 alleviates OHSS by reducing pro‐inflammatory factors, increasing immunomodulatory molecules, remodeling CD44/SDC4‐mediated communication, and restoring immune homeostasis.

New World Primates and Their Human Counterparts Share Diseases That Abound with CEACAM and Other Effector Molecules

Life
Background: Herein, we review the Cotton Top Tamarin (CTT), Saguinus oedipus, a unique spontaneous model for colorectal cancer (CRC). Despite its predisposition to inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) and frequent development of CRC, the CTT is adept at ...
