A spending bill approved by a House committee would require the agency to “accelerate” the replacement of nonhuman primates in laboratories starting in October.

Genetic engineering in non-human primates has long been limited by the need for virus-based gene delivery methods. Recently, ...

Old World nonhuman primates commonly found in research institutions are distinguished by the following characteristics: Social disposition: Like human primates, nonhuman primates have an inherent need ...

One potentially appealing experimental strategy is to investigate the functional effects of human-lineage specific (HLS) sequences in transgenic non-human primates (NHPs). Ideally, the species ...

The difference between human and primate communication is less obvious in the domain of call comprehension. Both human and non-human primates extract meaning by relating arbitrary sound structures ...

University of Wisconsin researchers and collaborators recently published a feasibility study that focuses on limiting fetal growth restriction in nonhuman primates through nanoparticle injections of ...
