Researchers at Texas Biomedical Research Institute and Southwest National Primate Research Center (SNPRC), in collaboration with Washington University in St. Louis, have clarified what immune cells are present in the lungs in the first days of SARS-CoV-2 infection, and what some of those cells are doing to fight off the virus. The findings, reported in Nature Communications, will help guide the development of future treatments for COVID-19.

Chronic use of marijuana may greatly impact male fertility and reproductive outcomes, says a recent report from the Oregon National Primate Research Center published online in the journal Fertility & Sterility.

How do the US National Primate Research Centers benefit science and society? Speaking of Research committee members, and primatologists, Drs. Lacreuse, Dettmer, Bennett, dive into these important issues.
