Decoding thymic development: a single-cell atlas of tree shrew immunity

Frontiers in Immunology
The tree shrew is a potential mammalian model for preclinical studies, but its immune system is not well understood. In this study, we utilized single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) to construct a comprehensive cell atlas of the postnatal thymus ...

Myopia Development in Tree Shrew Is Associated with Chronic Inflammatory Reactions

Current Issues in Molecular Biology, 2022
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.

Nocturnal neighbors: exploring residents' perceptions of urban wildlife related to animal traits identified by camera traps and literature

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Wildlife in urban areas is often a source of conflict, yet relatively few efforts have been directed toward fostering coexistence in these human‐dominated landscapes. While previous research has focused on socio‐demographic factors influencing perceptions of wildlife, the role of specific animal traits in shaping acceptance remains underexplored.

Concentrated vulnerabilities in bees: Diet specialists have smaller geographic ranges

Insect Conservation and Diversity, EarlyView.
Niche breadth theory predicts a positive association between range size and diet breadth, which could concentrate risk among specialists, but this is not well established for bees. Using global occurrence data (range size) and natural history collection‐derived pollen data (diet breadth), we compared these traits in 633 species from six families and ...

The tree shrew as a model for infectious diseases research [PDF]

Journal of Thoracic Disease, 2018
Despite major advances in medicine, infectious diseases still pose a significant threat to humanity. Mammalian models of disease have proved extremely useful in adding to the understanding of infectious diseases and the development of prophylactic and/or therapeutic interventions.

The neuroprotective effect and RNA‐sequence analysis of postconditioning on the ischemic stroke with diabetes mellitus tree shrew model

Brain and Behavior, 2021
Introduction Patients with comorbidity of ischemic stroke (IS) and diabetes mellitus (DM) show poor neurological functional recovery, and ischemic postconditioning (IPOC) should be considered a powerful neuroprotective method for IS.

Using Metabarcoding Techniques to Map Multiple Dung Beetle‐Vertebrate iDNA Networks in a Southeast Asian Forest

Molecular Ecology Resources, Volume 26, Issue 5, July 2026.
ABSTRACT Given the high levels of endemism, diversity, and increasing anthropogenic impacts in tropical regions, studies on species interactions and ecological networks are urgently needed to understand community responses to environmental change. Increasingly, molecular methods are used to monitor biodiversity and identify species interactions.

Basal physiological parameters in domesticated tree shrews ( Tupaia belangeri chinensis )

, 2013
Establishing non-human primate models of human diseases is an efficient way to narrow the large gap between basic studies and translational medicine. Multifold advantages such as simplicity of breeding, low cost of feeding and facility of operating make ...

Characterization of [ 123 I]FP-CIT binding to the dopamine transporter in the striatum of tree shrews by quantitative in vitro autoradiography

, 2015
ObjectivesAim of this study was to quantify the binding of [123I]FP-CIT in striatum of healthy tree shrews. [123I]FP-CIT is widely used in clinical SPECT imaging to reveal nigrostriatal degeneration in aid of the diagnosis of clinically uncertain ...

Insects and Survival: A Review of Primary and Secondary Defense Strategies

Entomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, Volume 174, Issue 7, Page 601-624, July 2026.
Based on a review of three decades of literature, insect defense mechanisms are classified into primary (I) and secondary (II) mechanisms of behavioral, morphological, and chemical nature. These mechanisms have been recorded in 22 (I) and 20 (II) orders, respectively.
