Deep sequencing of mRNA from Chinese tree shrew; Chinese tree shrew (Tupaia belangeri chinensis) is placed in Order Scandentia and embraces many unique features for a good experimental animal model. Currently, there are many attempts to employ tree shrew to establish model for a variety of human dis...
Acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), a common cause of acute fatal respiratory, is characterized by severe inflammatory lung injury as well as hallmarks of increased pulmonary vascular permeability, neutrophil infiltration, and macrophage accumulation. Tree shrew, a squirrel-like small animal...
In order elucidate the key signaling pathways in choroidal neovascularization, we induced choroidal angiogenesis by laser photocoagulation in 12 tree shrews and obtained mRNA profiles of their choroids and retinas by high-throughput transcriptome sequencing. Gene ontology(GO) and kyoto encyclopedia ...
1-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. In this study, tree shrews were used as the animal...
Purpose: The retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) transmits growth signals from the neural retina to the choroid in the emmetropization pathway, but the underlying molecular mechanisms remain poorly understood. Here, we compared the proteomic profiles of RPE-derived exosomes between myopic and non-myopi...
