Hepatitis C virus infection of primary tupaia hepatocytes leads to selection of quasispecies variants, induction of interferon-stimulated genes and NF-kappaB nuclear translocation [PDF]
Systems for in vitro culture of Hepatitis C virus (HCV) are essential tools to analyse virus-cell interactions and to investigate relevant pathophysiological aspects of HCV infection.

Property of hepatitis B virus replication in Tupaia belangeri hepatocytes
The northern treeshrew (Tupaia belangeri) has been reported to be an effective candidate for animal infection model with hepatitis B virus (HBV). The objective of our study was to analyze the growth characteristics of HBV in tupaia hepatocytes and the host response to HBV infection.

Scrub typhus is caused by Orientia tsutsugamushi (OT). In this study, the detection rates of OT in patients and small mammals were 28.13% (18/64) and 13.98% (13/93), respectively. Nine full‐length 56‐kDa TSA genes were identified, comprising four distinct genotypes: Karp‐like (n = 3), Kato‐like (n = 3), Gilliam (n = 2), and TA763 (n = 1). Recombination

Extra interesting phenomenon in the experiment: infanticide and cannibalism in Tupaia belangeri
Maternal infanticide and cannibalism, whereby a mother killing and consumes her own offspring, occurs in various animal taxa. The ability of the tree shrew (Tupaia belangeri) to kill and consume conspecifics is accepted, but the extent of its occurrence ...

Hominids adapted to metabolize ethanol long before human-directed fermentation [PDF]
Paleogenetics is an emerging field that resurrects ancestral proteins from now-extinct organisms to test, in the laboratory, models of protein function based on natural history and Darwinian evolution. Here, we resurrect digestive alcohol dehydrogenases (

Basal physiological parameters in domesticated tree shrews ( Tupaia belangeri chinensis ) [PDF]
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 the tree shrew an ideal non-human primate model proxy.

Same data, different results? Machine learning approaches in bioacoustics
Abstract Automated acoustic analysis is increasingly used in behavioural ecology, and determining caller identity is a key element for many investigations. However, variability in feature extraction and classification methods limits the comparability of results across species and studies, constraining conclusions we can draw about the ecology and ...

The N1 peptide specifically targets neurons, enabling cytosolic delivery of fluorescent dyes and proteins for super‐resolution imaging and functional genetic modification. Abstract Efficient delivery of biomolecules into neurons has significant impacts on therapeutic applications in the central nervous system (CNS) and fundamental neuroscience research.
