Development of a Geropathology Grading Platform for nonhuman primates.
Aging Pathobiol Ther
January 2020
A geropathology grading platform (GGP) for assessing age-related lesions has been established and validated for in inbred strain of mice. Because nonhuman primates (NHPs) share significant similarities in aging and spontaneous chronic diseases with humans, they provide excellent translational value for correlating histopathology with biological and pathological events associated with increasing age. Descriptive age-associated pathology has been described for rhesus macaques and marmosets, but a grading platform similar to the mouse GGP does not exist.

Objective: In this study, we sought to test the feasibility of hysterotomy in a rhesus monkey model with the Harmonic ACE®+7 Shears.
Article Synopsis
- * Researchers formulated an HIV inhibitor called Griffithsin (Grft) within the SF platform and conducted tests using non-human primates and human tissue models to assess its safety and efficacy.
- * Results showed that the SF-Grft system effectively released the HIV inhibitor and provided protection against HIV without causing inflammation or disrupting local microbiota in both vaginal and rectal tissues.
In March 2017, 26 American goldfinches (Spinus tristis) were found dead following a drench application of imidacloprid in California (USA). Identical seed fragments were present in the digestive tracts. Imidacloprid was detected in 4 separate pooled samples from 18 birds, in crop/gizzard contents (4.
