Optimizing the dengue virus infection mouse model: Comparing different backgrounds and infection route for enhanced stability

open access: yesAnimal Models and Experimental Medicine, EarlyView.
Optimized dengue fever animal model: IFNAR−/− BALB/c mice with intraperitoneal injection. Background screening: Between IFNAR−/− (BALB/c, C57BL/6) and AG129 mice, IFNAR−/−BALB/c exhibited the most severe symptoms: (1) highest weight loss and clinical scores; (2) peak viremia (5.44 log10 RNA copies/mL, day 4); (3) significant organ damage (liver/brain ...

Multimorbidity and animal models

open access: yesAnimal Models and Experimental Medicine, EarlyView.
Multimorbidity, defined as the coexistence of ≥2 chronic conditions, is associated with aging, genetics, and environmental factors. Animal models in multimorbidity research span three tiers: simple organisms for initial screening → rodents for mechanistic analysis → large mammals for clinical prediction.

Chronic high‐fat diet induces multi‐organ dysfunction and metabolic homeostasis disruption in Macaca fascicularis

open access: yesAnimal Models and Experimental Medicine, EarlyView.
An 18‐month HFD successfully established a translational Macaca fascicularis model replicating key metabolic disorders (MASH, diabetes, cardiac hypertrophy). MASH was determined by liver biopsy histology, the presence steatosis, inflammatory infiltration, hepatocytic ballooning, and fibrosis were considered as MASH; diabetes was diagnosed according to ...

Orphan receptor-GPR52 inverse agonist efficacy in ameliorating chronic stress-related deficits in reward motivation and phasic accumbal dopamine activity in mice

open access: yesTranslational Psychiatry
Reward processing dysfunctions e.g., anhedonia, apathy, are common in stress-related neuropsychiatric disorders including depression and schizophrenia, and there are currently no established therapies. One potential therapeutic approach is restoration of

The Sensitivity of the Crayfish Reward System to Mammalian Drugs of Abuse

open access: yesFrontiers in Physiology, 2017
The idea that addiction occurs when the brain is not able to differentiate whether specific reward circuits were triggered by adaptive natural rewards or falsely activated by addictive drugs exist in several models of drug addiction.

Challenges of modeling pristane‐induced lupus in non‐human primates

open access: yesAnimal Models and Experimental Medicine, EarlyView.
Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) in cynomolgus monkeys was modeled by two intraperitoneal injections of pristane at a dose of 3.5 mL/kg, administered at weeks 1 and 23. Serum samples from all monkeys that received pristane tested positive for antinuclear antibodies.
