In a recent paper in the journal Geroscience, Huber HF et al (https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/39585646/) characterize and compare the lifespan and health span of 12 nonhuman primate (NHP) species that are commonly used in biomedical research. This comprehensive study included data from 12,269 NHPs that survived to adulthood and died of natural or health-related causes and provides a valuable resource for the aging research community.

The NIA repository at Coriell includes samples from 27 unique species of NHPs available for distribution, many of which were included in this landmark paper.
