This study shows that early-life wildfire smoke exposure in rhesus macaques leads to long-term immune and epigenetic changes, including altered cytokine responses and accelerated epigenetic aging.

The paper shows that age and early life adversity affect DNA methylation across tissues in macaques, with distinct but overlapping patterns.

The paper tests for positive selection in centromere-associated kinetochore proteins across diverse animal groups but finds sporadic positive selection in some proteins.

This paper reviews rhesus macaques as a model for human ageing, showing shared gene regulatory signatures in immune ageing between macaques and humans.

The paper analyzes gene expression in wild Ugandan red colobus to show SIV infection does not cause chronic immune activation and identifies upregulation of CD101 as a potential tolerance mechanism.
