Why chimpanzees still matter in translational medicine—despite major research restrictions Chimpanzees (Pan troglodytes) sit at a unique intersection of biology and translational relevance. As our closest living relatives, they share deep similaritiesRead More…
When a program moves from “biology looks promising” to “we need evidence that will translate,” model choice becomes a strategy decision—not a checkbox. Among nonhuman primates (NHPs), baboons (genus Papio) occupy aRead More…
If you work at the edge of discovery—where mechanistic biology must survive contact with real physiology—you’ve probably felt the gap between “works in rodents” and “works in primates.” The common marmoset (CallithrixRead More…
The landscape of biomedical research is ever-evolving, demanding increasingly precise and reliable preclinical models to accelerate drug and vaccine development. While the Macaque species justly receives much attention, the African Green MonkeyRead More…
The evolution of modern medicine owes a significant debt to the non-human primate (NHP) model. While numerous species contribute to preclinical testing, the Rhesus Macaque (Macaca mulatta) holds a unique, storied placeRead More…
The journey of a novel therapeutic, from benchside discovery to patient bedside, is fraught with complexity, risk, and rigorous testing. Navigating the crucial phase of preclinical development requires a model system thatRead More…
Developing a new biologic drug is a long and complex journey, a marathon of scientific inquiry and rigorous testing. From the initial discovery of a target protein to the final approval forRead More…
Introduction Non-Human Primates (NHPs) are considered the most physiologically relevant animal models for studying human diseases. Among the diverse types of NHP-derived biological materials, bone marrow cells hold exceptional value for preclinicalRead More…
Smooth muscle cells (SMCs) are integral components of various organ systems, playing essential roles in regulating vascular tone, airway constriction, and gastrointestinal motility. Among the available preclinical models, Non-Human Primate (NHP) smoothRead More…
In the rapidly evolving field of biomedical research, non-human primate (NHP) cells have become an indispensable resource. These cells, derived from various tissues and organs of primates such as macaques, marmosets, andRead More…
