These papers were first presented as a symposium at the annual meeting of the American Association for the Advancement of Science, Boston, Dec. 27, 1953. They were published in the Sept. 1954 issue of ...

We generated genome assemblies — models of genomes that are created by pasting together short lengths of sequenced DNA — for 187 primate species 3. We then aligned the whole human genome to assemblies ...

A team in the Hübner and Diecke Labs at the Max Delbrück Center have shown how human and non-human primate hearts differ genetically. The study, published in “Nature Cardiovascular Research,” reveals ...

The human brain is a fascinating and complex organ that supports numerous sophisticated behaviors and abilities that are ...

In a tour de force for neuroscience, teams of researchers have published a voluminous set of brain-cell atlases for humans and other primates. The atlases are detailed in 21 research papers appearing ...

AMES, Iowa – A new study from an Iowa State University biologist shows that menopause in mid-life is a uniquely human phenomenon among primates. The study, published in the Proceedings of the National ...

A group of international scientists have mapped the genetic, cellular, and structural makeup of the human brain and the nonhuman primate brain. This understanding of brain structure allows for a ...

A new review was published in Aging (listed by MEDLINE/PubMed as "Aging (Albany NY)" and "Aging-US" by Web of Science), on October 29, 2024, Volume 16, Issue 20, titled, "Brain aging and Alzheimer's ...

Scientists researching primates, called "primatologists," have learned a lot over the years about our closest evolutionary ...

A single injection of a novel CRISPR gene-editing treatment safely and efficiently removes SIV -- a virus related to the AIDS-causing agent HIV -- from the genomes of non-human primates, scientists ...
