that impulsivity is a multidimensional construct, spanning several psychological domains …

Research in the basic biology of ageing is increasingly identifying mechanisms and
modifiers of ageing in short-lived organisms such as worms and mice. The ultimate goal of …

Vaccines are urgently needed to combat the global coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19)

Introduction Nonhuman primates may serve as excellent models of sporadic age-associated
brain β-amyloid deposition and Alzheimer's disease pathologic changes. We examined …

Vervet monkeys are among the most widely distributed nonhuman primates, show
considerable phenotypic diversity, and have long been an important biomedical model for a …

Background The human gut microbiota interacts closely with human diet and physiology. To
better understand the mechanisms behind this relationship, gut microbiome research relies …

Arboviruses spillover into humans either as a one-step jump from a reservoir host species
into humans or as a two-step jump from the reservoir to an amplification host species and …
