Research on human physiology and on prevention, treatments, and cures for disease relies on model systems with sufficient complexity, and nonhuman primates are used in biomedical research to meet ...
However, Usher syndrome doesn't naturally occur in nonhuman primates. So Brigande, Neuringer and colleagues had to genetically engineer a nonhuman primate with a gene mutation that causes Usher. The ...
The model's development team includes genetics and reproduction experts with the primate center's Division of Reproductive and Developmental Sciences. They used the gene-editing technology CRISPR/Cas9 ...
Researchers at Oregon Health & Science University have developed the first transgenic nonhuman primate model—genetically modified to carry a human gene—for studying hepatitis B virus. The breakthrough ...
PORTLAND, Ore. — The Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine filed complaints with Oregon Health & Science University (OHSU), the United States Department of Agriculture, and the National ...
ORLANDO, Florida -- Those with Usher Syndrome -- the leading hereditary cause for simultaneous deafness and blindness, for which there is no treatment -- may have a new reason for hope now that ...
