Decoding thymic development: a single-cell atlas of tree shrew immunity [PDF]
Frontiers in ImmunologyThe 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 ...

RNA sequencing and proteomic profiling reveal alterations by MPTP in chronic stomach mucosal injury in tree shrew Chinese (Tupaia belangeri chinensis). [PDF]
Sci Rep1-Methyl-4-phenyl-1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyridine (MPTP) is a neurotoxin that can cause gastrointestinal ulcers by affecting dopamine levels. Therefore, MPTP has been considered a toxic substance that causes gastric ulcer disease in experimental animals.
