African green monkeys respond to synthetic Aβ oligomers with persistent Alzheimer’s-like activation
Abstract African green monkeys (AGMs) provide a promising alternative to congenic rodent models because of their closer evolutionary relationship to humans and natural genetic variation. They share key physiological and biochemical traits with humans, including neuroanatomy, vascular structure, inflammatory responses, and lifespan. Unlike rodents, AGMs naturally develop Alzheimer’s-like amyloid-β (Aβ) plaques and tau pathology with age.
