This study shows that an attenuated Mycobacterium tuberculosis vaccine induces bronchus-associated lymphoid tissue (iBALT) and protects against heterologous TB challenge in macaques.

This paper presents an open-source method to assess cell-type composition in bulk RNA-Seq data from heterogeneous tissues using scRNA-Seq references, showing no sex-based differences in kidney transcriptomes from baboons.

The paper investigates how high sodium diets affect kidney cortex transcriptomes and blood pressure in female nonhuman primates, identifying gene networks and regulators linked to BP response.
