Have seen Creative Biolabs sharing the rhesus macaque as one of the most widely used nonhuman primate models for human diseases, so this category is for discussion about this model organism.
This model organism has not been covered in other categories in this community.
Topics in this category generally contain any information related to rhesus.
Rhesus Antibody are widely known in scientific studies and have been widely used in medical and biological research because of their relatively easy captive breeding. Rhesus monkeys are more similar to humans in physiology and development of the brain and central nervous system. According to a report by researchers from the National Primate Research Center in California, rhesus monkeys infected with Zika virus in the village have similar brain pathology to human infants. Rhesus monkeys are seen as a particularly promising model organism for aging research due to the social and physiological similarities with humans.
