Defining the cell and molecular origins of the primate ovarian reserve

The paper investigates the cell and molecular origins of the primate ovarian reserve using rhesus macaques, identifying PG2 cells as the primary source of primordial follicles and describing the recruitment of fetal theca cells for hormone production.

Multi-omics identification of extracellular components of the fetal monkey and human neocortex.

The paper identifies extracellular components in the developing fetal neocortex of humans and non-human primates using multi-omics approaches.

Differentiation of primate primordial germ cell-like cells following transplantation into the adult gonadal niche

This study validates the differentiation of rhesus macaque primordial germ cell-like cells (rPGCLCs) using transplantation into adult gonadal niches, showing they commit to late PGCs and spermatogonia-like cells but not ENO2-positive spermatogonia.
