Specialty. Medical genetics. In humans, a single transverse palmar crease is a single crease that extends across the palm of the hand, formed by the fusion of the two palmar creases. Although it is found more frequently in persons with several abnormal medical conditions, it is not predictive of any of these conditions since it is also found in ...
The simians, anthropoids, or higher primates are an infraorder ( Simiiformes / ˈsɪmi.ɪfɔːrmiːz /) of primates containing all animals traditionally called monkeys and apes. More precisely, they consist of the parvorders Platyrrhini (New World monkeys) and Catarrhini, the latter of which consists of the family Cercopithecidae ( Old World ...
Palmar crease. A single transverse palmar crease, one type of palmar crease. A palmar crease is a type of crease on the palm. A single transverse palmar crease also called simian crease is sometimes associated with Down syndrome. [1] Other types of creases include the Sydney crease and the Suwon, or double transverse palmar crease.
COS are fibroblast -like cell lines derived from monkey kidney tissue. COS cells are obtained by immortalizing CV-1 cells [1] with a version of the SV40 virus that can produce large T antigen but has a defect in genomic replication. [2] The CV-1 cell line in turn was derived from the kidney of the African green monkey. [3]

Prosimians are a group of primates that includes all living and extinct strepsirrhines ( lemurs, lorisoids, and adapiforms ), [5] as well as the haplorhine tarsiers and their extinct relatives, the omomyiforms, i.e. all primates excluding the simians. They are considered to have characteristics that are more "primitive" (ancestral or ...
SV40 large T antigen ( Simian Vacuolating Virus 40 TAg) is a hexamer protein that is a dominant-acting oncoprotein derived from the polyomavirus SV40. TAg is capable of inducing malignant transformation of a variety of cell types. The transforming activity of TAg is due in large part to its perturbation of the retinoblastoma ( pRb) [1] and p53 ...
In the ape, there is a reinforcement to the lower jaw bone called the simian shelf. In the evolution of the mammalian jaw, two of the bones of the jaw structure (the articular bone of the lower jaw, and quadrate) were reduced in size and incorporated into the ear, while many others have been fused together.
