Nonhuman primates are valuable in research but their natural health variations can complicate study results.

Alopecia in captive primates can be caused by many factors, so thorough testing is needed before blaming stress.

Hair cortisol levels in primates are useful for stress assessment but vary by age, sex, species, and hair collection methods.

The silver marmoset's skin is thin, lacks pigment cells, and has unique features like keratinized spines and specialized glands.

MENT could be a better option than testosterone for male hormone therapy and birth control because it works well at lower doses and has fewer side effects on the prostate.

Monkey lips have dense sensory nerves similar to those in other skin areas, explaining their sensitivity.

Stable isotope analysis of hair helps study primate diets over time non-invasively.

Two new mite species were found in a monkey's hair follicles, leading to a new genus and family proposal.

Humans heal wounds slower than non-human primates and rodents.

Humans evolved to have less hair and more sweat glands than chimpanzees and macaques.

A high-fat diet caused severe health problems in female macaques but was reversible with a normal diet, while male macaques reacted differently.

Keratin hydrogel improves nerve regeneration and motor recovery.

Monkeys with more anxious or inhibited temperaments tend to have less hair loss.

DHEA improved brain function and behavior in old monkeys and had additional health benefits.

Using an anti-ICAM-1 antibody with rapamycin improves hair transplant survival in monkeys.

Lemur hair color and density vary by environment, supporting theories on primate hair evolution.

Early exposure to germs may protect against autoimmune diseases, lack of sex increases alcohol preference in fruit flies, a potential baldness treatment could involve blocking a specific receptor, skin memory cells help prevent re-infection, high-fat diets can affect brain cells related to weight, and the link between social status, stress, and heart disease in primates is unclear.

PolyQ repeats in neural proteins evolve together, affecting brain function and disease.

Captive management practices affect hair loss and stress in rhesus monkeys, with differences between facilities.

Most hair loss in captive rhesus macaques is likely due to environmental and behavioral factors.

Where a rhesus macaque used to live can affect its chances of getting alopecia later in life, and females are more likely to be affected than males.

Humans likely became hairless to better regulate body temperature.

Dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) is a prohormone important for producing sex steroids and has potential health benefits.

Exposure to too much androgen before birth might cause polycystic ovary syndrome later in life.
