    Glossary Mice

    small rodents often used in biological and medical research

    Mice, also known as murine rodents, are small mammals commonly used in scientific research due to their genetic, biological, and behavioral similarities to humans. They are particularly valuable in studies related to hair and alopecia because their genetic makeup can be easily manipulated to model human diseases, allowing researchers to investigate the underlying mechanisms and potential treatments.
