The paper uses transcriptomic data from amniotic fluid and fetal tissues to identify biomarkers of fetal maturity in rhesus macaques, showing that cell-free RNA can predict lung compliance and gestational age.

This study uses single-nucleus RNA-seq to show that chorioamnionitis disrupts cerebellar cell maturation in preterm nonhuman primates, leading to Purkinje cell loss and altered granule and oligodendrocyte development.
