Myopia Development in Tree Shrew Is Associated with Chronic Inflammatory Reactions [PDF]
In this study, we aimed to investigate whether chronic retinal inflammation is involved in the pathogenesis of form-deprivation myopia (FDM) using tree shrews as an animal model.

Establishment of an osteoporosis model in tree shrews by bilateral ovariectomy and comprehensive evaluation. [PDF]
Osteoporosis (OP) treatment has always been challenging for elderly menopausal females. An animal model with a closer genetic association to human OP is essential for treatment research.

A study on the establishment of a traumatic brain injury model of tree shrews and the observation of neuroinflammatory responses [PDF]
Background and objective: The tree shrew (Tupaia belangeri) has become an ideal model for studying various neurological diseases. However, there is no stable tree shrew model of traumatic brain injury (TBI) at present.

EV-A71 invades the central nervous system and affects the blood-brain barrier in a tree shrew model [PDF]
IntroductionThe enterovirus A71 (EV-A71)-caused central nerve system (CNS) damage seriously endangers the health of infants and young children, but the underlying mechanisms by which EV-A71 crosses the blood-brain barrier (BBB) are still largely unknown.

Regeneration of islet β-cells in tree shrews and rats. [PDF]
Current understanding of injury and regeneration of islet β‐cells in diabetes is mainly based on rodent studies. The tree shrew is now generally accepted as being among the closest living relatives of primates, and has been widely used in animal ...

Juvenile Tree Shrews Do Not Maintain Emmetropia in Narrow-band Blue Light. [PDF]
SIGNIFICANCE In spectrally broad-band light, an emmetropization mechanism in post-natal eyes uses visual cues to modulate the growth of the eye to achieve and maintain near emmetropia.

Tree shrews at the German Primate Center [PDF]
For many years, Tupaia (family Tupaiidae), most commonly known as tree shrews, have been studied almost exclusively by zoologists resulting in a controversial debate on their taxonomic status among mammals.
