NoN-HumaN Primates The Essential Need for Animals in Medical Research
ثبت نشده
چکیده
Introduction Less than 1⁄4 of one percent of all laboratory animals needed in the U.S. are non-human primates. Approximately 30 different species are studied by the research community.1 Many historic scientific breakthroughs, such as the discovery of the Rh factor and the development of a live polio virus vaccine were achieved through research with non-human primates. Today they are considered extremely important models in many areas of medicine because of their close relationship to humans.

متن کاملI-10: Vitrification of Baboon Ovarian Tissue:Will Vitrification Replace Conventional Freezing for Ovarian Tissue Cryopreservation?
Background: The aim of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of a vitrification protocol developed by our group to cryopreserve ovarian tissue. For this, we used ovaries from non-human primates in order to have an animal model close to the clinical setting. Materials and Methods: Ovarian biopsies from five adult baboons were vitrified, warmed and autografted. After five months, follicle survi...
