🔍 Dr. Thompson González, Dr. Zarin Machanda & Dr. Emery Thompson synthesize recent evidence that social selectivity also occurs in other animals, including some nonhuman primates, providing a comparative testing ground for understanding its causes and consequences. doi.org/10.1016/j.neub…
🔬Carey Lyons, PhD, Dr. Razzoli and Alessandro Bartolomucci Lab build on the compelling evidence that life stress accelerates components of biological aging and can shorten life expectancy in social mammals, including humans. doi.org/10.1016/j.neub…
👀Carol Shively, PhD and coauthors summarize the current state of the literature on diet, social behavior, and aging conducted in model organisms closely related to humans, with a special focus on preclinical trials in nonhuman primates at Wake Forest University. doi.org/10.1016/j.neub…
🧬 Sarah Wolf and Dr. Shalev focus on a specific protein class called shelterins that act alongside telomeric DNA to stabilize the genome. This class of proteins is crucial in supporting the activity of telomerase. #Telomere #ShelterinProtein #Aging doi.org/10.1016/j.neub…
📚📖 Greg Albery Amy Sweeny Quinn Webber focus their review on the bidirectional interaction between patterns of social interactions during the life course and threats to health involving infectious disease. #Aging #Senescence #DiseaseEcology doi.org/10.1016/j.neub…
🐭 Matthew Zipple 🇺🇦 Caleb C. Vogt Michael Sheehan guide us through “re-wilding model organisms” to study the molecular mechanisms of social behavior, neurobiological functioning, health, and aging. #SocialEcology #FieldExperiment doi.org/10.1016/j.neub…
🧠Joeri Bordes lucasmiranda42 Dr.Müller-Myhsok Mathias Schmidt review how rigorous studies of social behavior and ethology have used ML/AI tools to investigate social dominance, social behavior and their impact on social aging and neurological diseases. doi.org/10.1016/j.neub…
