Our article summarizes a series of studies about fetal gyrification and its relation to cerebral growth in cynomolgus monkeys. Based on the cerebral growth (i.e., brain weight, cerebral volume, and frontooccipital length of the cerebral hemisphere) and the developmental pattern of gyrification in each sulcus of cynomolgus monkeys, we divided the gyrification process into four stages: Stage 1. Demarcation of cerebral lobes and limbic gyri; Stage 2. Demarcation of neocortical gyri; Stage 3. Emergence of secondary and tertiary sulci; and Stage 4. Growth of sulcal length and depth. Each stage of those gyrification processes was influenced by different developmental events, such as the emergence of corticocortical long-associative fiber tracts, cortical maturations, and subcortical white-matter development. This is the first report to systematically propose gyrification processes closely related to the order of phyologenetical development of the cerebral cortex in primates.

Background: Physical exercise improves overall brain health, cognition, and stimulates the release of extracellular vesicles (EVs) in humans. Exercise upregulates irisin, a myokine derived from fibronectin type III domain-containing protein 5 (FNDC5) previously shown to mediate the beneficial actions of exercise on memory in mouse models of Alzheimer's disease (AD). Here, we investigated if physical exercise upregulates EVs.

Background: Mediterranean diets may reduce Alzheimer's disease (AD) risk and preserve cognitive function relative to Western diets by protecting against inflammation. In a long term controlled randomized trial of Mediterranean vs. Western diet consumption in cynomolgus macaques (Macaca fascicularis), difficult to conduct in humans, we found significant anti-inflammatory effects of Mediterranean diet on circulating monocyte and brain temporal cortex transcriptional profiles.

Background: Western and Mediterranean diets differentially affect cerebral cortical gene expression, brain structure, and socioemotional behavior in middle-aged female nonhuman primates (NHP) (Macaca fascicularis). In this study, we investigate the effect of diet on brain molecular composition.
Method: Using a machine learning approach, we quantified the impact of these diets on the presynaptic proteome in the lateral temporal cortex determined by synaptometry by time of flight (SynTOF) mass spectrometry and examined associations between the proteome, transcriptome, and an array of multisystem phenotypes.

Background: Targeting the TGF-β pathway in tumor therapy has proven challenging due to the highly context-dependent functions of TGF-β. Integrin αvβ8, a pivotal activator of TGF-β, has been implicated in TGF-β signaling within tumors, as demonstrated by the significant anti-tumor effects of anti-αvβ8 antibodies. Nevertheless, the expression profile of αvβ8 remains a subject of debate, and the precise mechanisms underlying the anti-tumor effects of anti-αvβ8 antibodies are not yet fully elucidated.

Background: Antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs) are an emerging class of targeted therapeutics and are receiving growing attention in the pharmaceutical field. Here we aimed to validate two ligand binding assays for the quantitation of GQ1001, an ADC made of Trastuzumab site-specifically conjugated with DM1, in cynomolgus monkey serum, and then apply the validated assays to a nonclinical study.
Methods: The quantitative methods for conjugated GQ1001 and total GQ1001 were validated against regulatory guidance documents on bioanalytical method validation under a Good Laboratory Practice (GLP)-compliant environment.
