This study generates MECP2-knockout marmosets to model Rett syndrome, revealing cortical structural and gene expression changes linked to the disease.

This paper develops a non-invasive CG assay for detecting ovulation and early pregnancy in marmosets using monoclonal antibodies, achieving 75% embryo recovery through artificial insemination.

The paper develops a non-invasive marmoset holder for small-bore MRI to enable awake fMRI studies and evaluates its ability to capture auditory responses.

The paper develops an olfactory stimulation fMRI system in marmosets to study olfactory pathway activity and its potential link to neurodegenerative diseases.

This study generates marmoset PGCLCs from iPSCs using mRNA transfection and shows their differentiation into gonocyte-like cells in xenoreconstituted testes.

The paper develops a method to identify transgenic marmoset embryos using a fluorescent protein indicator system based on the piggyBac transposon.

This study presents de novo chromosome-scale genome assemblies for cynomolgus macaque and common marmoset using long-read and Hi-C data, achieving high contiguity and accuracy.

The study shows that the GPR56 promoter e1m preferentially drives gene expression in developing GABAergic neurons in marmosets, suggesting a role in GPR56-related cerebral cortex disorders.

This paper describes the creation of the first non-human primate model of familial Alzheimer's disease using genome editing to introduce a PSEN1 mutation associated with early-onset AD.

This paper presents a neurohistological pipeline and grid-based tracer injection strategy for mesoscale connectivity mapping in common marmosets, enabling high-quality brain-wide connectivity matrices.

This study compares single-cell transcriptomes of human, marmoset, and mouse embryos to identify conserved and divergent features of preimplantation development.
