Tree shrew as a new animal model for the study of lung cancer.
Animal models play a key role in identifying treatments for various types of cancer, including lung cancer. The aim of the present study was to develop a new animal model for lung cancer induction using tree shrews from the Yunnan region in China. Tree shrews are suitable for a full simulation of human disease because their structure, function and metabolism are adequately close to human. This ...
متن کاملTree shrew (Tupaia belangeri) as a novel non-human primate laboratory disease animal model
The tree shrew (Tupaia belangeri) is a promising laboratory animal that possesses a closer genetic relationship to primates than to rodents. In addition, advantages such as small size, easy breeding, and rapid reproduction make the tree shrew an ideal subject for the study of human disease. Numerous tree shrew disease models have been generated in biological and medical studies in recent years....
متن کاملZika Virus: A New Animal Model for an Arbovirus
In the latest issue of PLOS Neglected Tropical Diseases [1], Dowall and colleagues describe a novel small animal model for Zika virus infection. Along with two other reports in the recent weeks [2,3], this collection of papers marks an important turning point in Zika virus research and enables in vivo testing and evaluation of candidate vaccines and therapeutics. The authors show that type-1 in...

متن کاملEstablishment of basal cell carcinoma animal model in Chinese tree shrew (Tupaia belangeri chinensis)
Basal cell carcinoma (BCC) is the most common skin cancer worldwide, with incidence rates continuing to increase. Ultraviolet radiation is the major environmental risk factor and dysregulation of the Hedgehog (Hh) signaling pathway has been identified in most BCCs. The treatment of locally advanced and metastatic BBCs is still a challenge and requires a better animal model than the widely used ...
