Néotène, Hybrides et Chimères by Marika Moisseeff

“…In the West, the idea of man as a creature made by God in His own image has progressively given way to a biological conception that locates humanity’s specific place and ontology between those pertaining to two distinct species: the primates that preceded humans in the course of phylogenesis, and the species that will descend from them, such as the transgenic or chimerical entities that biotechnology should allow them to create. …”

Préférence manuelle chez les gibbons by Luca Morino, Makiko Uchikoshi, Fred Bercovitch, William D Hopkins, Tetsuro Matsuzawa

“…Nous discuterons l’importance de la complexité de la tâche lorsque l’on teste la latéralité manuelle, les pressions de sélection qui pourraient avoir agi spécifiquement sur les hylobatidés hautement arboricoles, ainsi que les facteurs qui pourraient expliquer la différence entre les données de latéralité chez des populations de primates sauvages versus primates captifs.Nous remercions les administrateurs et les gardiens de zoos qui ont contribué à la collecte de données. …”

Nonhematopoietic Variants of Erythropoietin in Ischemic Stroke: Need for Step-Wise Proof-of-Concept Studies by Dirk M. Hermann

“…In view of the potential clinical use of Neuro-EPO, stringent proof-of-concept studies are urgently needed to define (1) how intranasally delivered Neuro-EPO reaches the brain, (2) which concentrations are achieved in the ischemic and nonischemic brain tissue of rodents and nonhuman primates, and (3) which are the mechanisms via which Neuro-EPO protects from injury. …”

Sensibilisation à l’environnement d’un collège alsacien et d’une école malgache by David Di Paolo

“…Three annual visits to the zoo allow to children (1) to enhance their understanding of the fauna and flora, this aspect being completed by a personal bibliography produced by children; (2) to introduce notions on the phenotypic classification of primates by observing animals and the help of simple arrays of determining criteria ; (3) to improve their ecological awareness with tangible and common examples like the deforestation in Madagascar or the invasive species introduction, pupils are invited to think about these subjects and to suggest theoretical solutions ; (4) to observe the interspecific behavioral differences and the sexual hierarchy of lemurs using simple ethological observations ("all occurrences sampling" methods) of several species.…”

Good and Justice in the Context of Environmental Ethics by Nikolai Mihailov, Lidia Sakelarieva

“…The article explores issues about the origin of morality, as well as some ideas about the moral status of attitudes among primates. More important conclusions are that ethics and environmental knowledge must be developed in cooperation in order to explain and form moral consciousness, a new type of ethos that does not allow indifference to the environment in human interaction with it, and that moral considerations should contain not only prescriptions for due human behavior in human society, but also obligations to non-human inhabitants of nature or to the environment. …”

UTR-Insight: integrating deep learning for efficient 5′ UTR discovery and design by Saichao Pan, Hanyu Wang, Hang Zhang, Zan Tang, Lianqiang Xu, Zhixiang Yan, Yong Hu

“…Using UTR-Insight, we performed high-throughput in silico screening of hundreds of thousands of endogenous 5′ UTRs from primates, mice, and viruses. The screened sequences increased protein expression by up to 319% compared to the human α-globin 5′ UTR, and UTR-Insight-designed sequences achieved even greater expression levels than high-performing endogenous 5′ UTRs.…”
