A non-human primate BAC resource to study interchromosomal segmental duplications.

25 Oct 2009 Segmental duplications (SDs) are involved in the reshaping and evolutionary development of primate genome architecture. Their intrinsic property to promote genomic instability facilitates genome rearrangements, thereby contributing to karyotype ... Read more...

Body size and joint posture in primates.

29 Sep 2009 Body mass has been shown in experimental and comparative morphological studies to have a significant effect on joint posture in major limb joints. The generalizability of experimental studies is limited by their use of small sample sizes and limited ... Read more...

Adoptively transferred effector cells derived from naive rather than central memory CD8+ T cells mediate superior antitumor immunity.

22 Sep 2009 Effector cells derived from central memory CD8(+) T cells were reported to engraft and survive better than those derived from effector memory populations, suggesting that they are superior for use in adoptive immunotherapy studies. However, previous ... Read more...
