Trauma rates and patterns in specific pathogen free (SPF) rhesus macaque (Macaca mulatta) groups
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2018 at "American Journal of Primatology"
DOI: 10.1002/ajp.22742
Abstract: There are some predictable patterns of trauma in captive rhesus macaque (Macaca mulatta) social groups. Several factors have been documented to contribute to these patterns, including group formation of unrelated animals, and the establishment of… read more here.

Uteroplacental and Fetal 4D Flow MRI in the Pregnant Rhesus Macaque
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2019 at "Journal of Magnetic Resonance Imaging"
DOI: 10.1002/jmri.26206
Abstract: Pregnancy complications are often associated with poor uteroplacental vascular adaptation and standard diagnostics are unable to reliably quantify flow in all uteroplacental vessels and have poor sensitivity early in gestation. read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s00251-019-01125-w
Abstract: Indian rhesus macaque major histocompatibility complex (MHC) variation can influence the outcomes of transplantation and infectious disease studies. Frequently, rhesus macaques are MHC genotyped to identify variants that could account for unexpected results. Since the… read more here.

Functional variability of rhesus macaque (Macaca mulatta) NAT2 gene for drug-metabolising arylamine N-acetyltransferase 2.
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2021 at "Biochemical pharmacology"
DOI: 10.1016/j.bcp.2021.114545
Abstract: Human NAT2 is a polymorphic pharmacogene encoding for N-acetyltransferase 2, a hepatic enzyme active towards arylamine and arylhydrazine drugs, including the anti-tubercular antibiotic isoniazid. The isoenzyme also modulates susceptibility to chemical carcinogenesis, particularly of the… read more here.

DOI: 10.1038/s41467-019-12174-w
Abstract: We present a high-quality de novo genome assembly (rheMacS) of the Chinese rhesus macaque (Macaca mulatta) using long-read sequencing and multiplatform scaffolding approaches. Compared to the current Indian rhesus macaque reference genome (rheMac8), rheMacS increases… read more here.

DOI: 10.1080/19490976.2023.2188848
Abstract: ABSTRACT Rhesus macaque (RM, Macaca mulatta), as an important model animal, commonly suffers from chronic diarrheal disease, challenging the breeding of RMs. Gut microbiomes play key roles in maintaining intestinal health of RMs. However, it… read more here.

Indirect activation of rhesus macaque (Macaca mulatta) NK cells in oral and mucosal draining lymph nodes
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2018 at "Journal of Medical Primatology"
DOI: 10.1111/jmp.12371
Abstract: The oral mucosae and draining lymph nodes are primary entry points for invading pathogens, particularly during immunosuppressive HIV/SIV infections. Innate immunity against oral stimuli, including natural killer (NK) cells, is understudied. Herein, we demonstrate functional… read more here.

Fetal teratogenicity in a rhesus macaque (Macaca mulatta): Association with the chronic maternal treatment of amitriptyline
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2020 at "Journal of Medical Primatology"
DOI: 10.1111/jmp.12499
Abstract: Amitriptyline is a tricyclic antidepressant commonly prescribed in humans for pain and sleep disorders and in non‐human primates for self‐injurious behaviors. Here, we report a clinical case on the teratogenic effect of maternal‐fetal amitriptyline exposure. read more here.
