This paper constructs a single-cell transcriptomic atlas of the pigtail macaque lung, revealing high similarity to human lung cell types and providing a reference for studying respiratory diseases in a translational model.

Maternal influenza A virus infection in pregnant pigtail macaques dysregulates placental and fetal immunity, with disease severity correlating strongly with fetal, but not placental, immune perturbations.

This study creates a single-cell RNA-Seq atlas of the pigtail macaque placenta in late gestation, revealing similarities to human placental cell populations.
