Optimization of Milk Substitutes for the Artificial Rearing of Chinese Tree Shrews (Tupaia belangeri chinensis). [PDF]

Animals (Basel), 2022
Simple Summary The Chinese tree shrew, a squirrel-like mammal, has been widely used as a laboratory animal in biological research. However, the low survival rate of the pups has seriously hindered the establishment of inbred lines of this species and ...

Tree Shrews as an Animal Model for Studying Perceptual Decision-Making Reveal a Critical Role of Stimulus-Independent Processes in Guiding Behavior. [PDF]

eNeuro, 2022
Decision-making is an essential cognitive process by which we interact with the external world. However, attempts to understand the neural mechanisms of decision-making are limited by the current available animal models and the technologies that can be ...

Effect of Scleral Crosslinking Using Multiple Doses of Genipin on Experimental Progressive Myopia in Tree Shrews. [PDF]

Transl Vis Sci Technol, 2021
Purpose To evaluate the effect of scleral crosslinking (SXL) on slowing experimental progressive myopia in tree shrew eyes using sub-Tenon's injections of genipin (GEN) at different concentrations and number of injections. Methods Three or five sub-Tenon'

Comparative In Vivo Imaging of Retinal Structures in Tree Shrews, Humans, and Mice. [PDF]

eNeuro
Rodent models, such as mice and rats, are commonly used to examine retinal ganglion cell damage in eye diseases. However, as nocturnal animals, rodent retinal structures differ from primates, imposing significant limitations in studying retinal pathology.

Tree shrews (tupaia belangeri) exhibit novelty preference in the novel location memory task with 24-hour retention periods. [PDF]

Frontiers in Psychology, 2014
Novelty preference is pervasive in mammalian species, and describes an inherent tendency to preferentially explore novelty. The novel location memory task studied here assesses the ability of animals to form accurate memories of a spatial configuration,

Social avoidance behavior in male tree shrews and prosocial behavior in male mice toward unfamiliar conspecifics in the laboratory. [PDF]

Zool Res, 2020
Adult male tree shrews vigorously defend against intruding male conspecifics. However, the characteristics of social behavior have not been entirely explored in these males. In this study, male wild-type tree shrews (Tupaia belangeri chinensis) and C57BL/

The tsAPOBEC3 proteins restrict HBV replication and may limit the establishment of persistent infection in tree shrews. [PDF]

Cell Mol Immunol, 2020
Hepatitis B virus (HBV) is a pathogen that infects humans and can lead to the development of liver disease and hepatocellular carcinoma. Currently, however, animal models of HBV infection remain lacking.
