- Title
Paving the road for biomedicine: genome editing and stem cells in primates.
- Authors
Yuyu Niu; Tianqing Li; Weizhi Ji
- Abstract
Non-human primates (NHPs) are similar with humans in their anatomy, physiology, genetics and neural functions, and in their cognition, emotions and social behavior. The NHP model has played an important role in the biomedical research, development of vaccines and drugs and new therapies for many diseases. Recent advances in genome editing have generated NHP models for human diseases. Genome editing integrated with derivation of NHP pluripotent stem cells now provides an optimal resource to regenerate medicine.
