Construction of polyomavirus-derived pseudotype virus-like particles displaying a functionally active neutralizing antibody against hepatitis B virus surface antigen [PDF]
, 2015 Background: Virus-like particles (VLPs) can be efficiently produced by heterologous expression of viral structural proteins in yeast. Due to their repetitive structure, VLPs are extensively used for protein engineering and generation of chimeric VLPs ...

Molecular mechanism of the tree shrew's insensitivity to spiciness. [PDF]
PLoS Biology, 2018 Spicy foods elicit a pungent or hot and painful sensation that repels almost all mammals. Here, we observe that the tree shrew (Tupaia belangeri chinensis), which possesses a close relationship with primates and can directly and actively consume spicy ...

Flying lemurs - The 'flying tree shrews'? Molecular cytogenetic evidence for a Scandentia-Dermoptera sister clade [PDF]
, 2008 Background Flying lemurs or Colugos (order Dermoptera) represent an ancient mammalian lineage that contains only two extant species. Although molecular evidence strongly supports that the orders Dermoptera, Scandentia, Lagomorpha, Rodentia and Primates ...

Individual strategies of aggressive and non-aggressive male mice in encounters with trained aggressive residents [PDF]
, 1992 To determine whether individual differences in offensive behaviour are related to differences in defensive behaviour, the responses of male wild house mice, Mus domesticus, of an aggressive and a non-aggressive line to defeat by physically stronger ...

Identification, characterization and expression profiles of PSEN2 in the Chinese tree shrew (Tupaia belangeri chinensis) [PDF]
Journal of Integrative Neuroscience, 2020 The gene PSEN2 encodes presenilin-2, a subunit of γ-secretase. Mutations in PSEN2 are not only related to Alzheimer's disease but are also involved in other diseases.
