Metacognition in Japanese macaques (Macaca fuscata): does impulsivity explain unnecessary looks in the tubes task? by Lorraine Subias, Noriko Katsu, Kazunori Yamada

“…Abstract Potential metacognitive abilities, such as monitoring and controlling cognitive processes, have been revealed in some primate species. In the tubes task, apes and macaques showed higher content-checking behavior when unaware of a reward’s location, but they also periodically inspected the tubes when aware, especially when a more appealing reward was involved. …”

Stable Long-Term Culture of Human Distal Airway Stem Cells for Transplantation by Yueqing Zhou, Yujia Wang, Dandan Li, Ting Zhang, Yu Ma, Wei Zuo

“…Their phenotype stability in long-term cell culture was analyzed, followed by safety evaluation and tumorigenic analysis using multiple animal models including rodents and nonhuman primate. The chimerism of the human-mouse lung model indicated that DASC pedigrees could give rise to multiple epithelial types, including type I alveolar cells as well as bronchiolar secretory cells, to regenerate the distal lung. …”
