New research indicates that a rhesus monkey (Macaca mulatta), cloned using somatic cell nuclear transfer (SCNT), has successfully survived for over two years. The cloning of rhesus monkeys may ...

Rhesus macaque monkeys infected in utero with Zika virus develop similar brain pathology to human infants, according to a report by researchers at the California National Primate Research Center and ...

An international consortium of researchers has published the genome sequence of the rhesus macaque monkey and aligned it with the chimpanzee and human genomes. The analysis reveals that the three ...

Figure 1: TRIM5αrh specifically restricts HIV-1 production in rhesus monkey cells. To determine whether TRIM5αrh induces rapid degradation of Gag during viral production, we performed pulse-chase ...

The rhesus macaque is the most widely studied nonhuman primate in biomedical research. A genome sequencing project for this species, led by researchers at Baylor College of Medicine, the University of ...

In a promising result for the success of vaccines against COVID-19, rhesus macaque monkeys infected with the human coronavirus SARS-CoV-2 developed protective immune responses suggesting long-lasting ...

Research shows major differences between mouse and primates in the behavior of early embryos toward introduced ESCs. Experiments leading to the birth of the world’s first chimeric rhesus monkeys have ...

A recent study published in late March by psychologists and neuroscientists from Yale and other research institutions found that monkeys can process visual cues in conscious and nonconscious ways — a ...

A new factor has been added to the marital equation. It is the Rh factor in human blood, discovered in 1940 and so named because famed Blood Analysts Karl Landsteiner and Alexander Solomon Wiener used ...

A protein similar to the Rhesus factor antigens that are used to determine the safety of blood transfusions removes acid from the blood and could have a role in regulating pH elsewhere in the body, ...

Rhesus macaque monkeys infected in utero with Zika virus develop similar brain pathology to human infants. The findings may open up new ways to study the infection in an animal model. Rhesus macaque ...
