    genetically engineered or bred mice used to study human diseases

    Mouse models, also known as murine models, are laboratory mice that are genetically engineered or selectively bred to study human diseases, including conditions like alopecia. These models are crucial for understanding disease mechanisms, testing potential treatments, and observing biological processes in a controlled environment, as mice share a high degree of genetic and physiological similarity with humans.
