    GlossaryHairless Mouse Skin

    skin of genetically modified mice lacking hair due to mutations

    Hairless Mouse Skin refers to the skin of genetically modified mice that lack hair due to specific mutations. These mice, often called "nude mice" or "athymic mice," are commonly used in scientific research because their lack of hair makes it easier to observe skin conditions, test dermatological treatments, and study immune system functions, as they also have a compromised immune system.
