Identification of novel mammalian viruses in tree shrews ( Tupaia belangeri chinensis). [PDF]

Zool Res
The Chinese tree shrew ( Tupaia belangeri chinensis), a member of the mammalian order Scandentia, exhibits considerable similarities with primates, including humans, in aspects of its nervous, immune, and metabolic systems. These similarities have established the tree shrew as a promising experimental model for biomedical research on cancer, infectious

Comparison of Nonshivering Thermogenesis Induced by Norepinephrine Stress in Tree Shrews [PDF]

Journal of Stress Physiology & Biochemistry, 2013
Nonshivering thermogenesis (NST)is an important thermogenic mechanism for small mammals. Quantitative measurement of NST is usually stimulated by injection of norepinephrine.

Can recombinant tree shrew (Tupaia belangeri chinensis) chymosin coagulate cow (Bos taurus) milk? [PDF]

Applied Biochemistry and Microbiology, 2022
Genetically engineered chymosin from the tree shrew (Tupaia belangeri chinensis) has been obtained and partially characterized for the first time. The target enzyme was produced in Escherichia coli, strain BL21(DE3).

Variations of Endocrine Hormones Concentrations in Tupaia belangeri under Simulated Seasonal Acclimatized: Role of Leptin Sensitivity [PDF]

Journal of Stress Physiology & Biochemistry, 2013
Seasonal variations in endocrine hormones concentrations are important for the survival of small mammals during acclimatization. In order to understand the role of leptin sensitivity on other endocrine hormones concentrations, we examined body mass ...

Microsatellite analysis of genetic diversity in the Tupaia belangeri yaoshanensis. [PDF]

Biomed Rep, 2017
The Chinese tree shrew (Tupaia belangeri yaoshanensis) has long been proposed to serve as an animal model for studying human diseases. However, its overall genetic diversity and population structure remain largely unknown. In the present study, we investigated the genetic diversity of population microsatellite DNA in wild Tupaia belangeri yaoshanensis.

Neural Progenitors in the Developing Neocortex of the Northern Tree Shrew (Tupaia belangeri) Show a Closer Relationship to Gyrencephalic Primates Than to Lissencephalic Rodents [PDF]

Frontiers in Neuroanatomy, 2018
The neocortex is the most complex part of the mammalian brain and as such it has undergone tremendous expansion during evolution, especially in primates.
