    Glossary Model organism

    non-human species used to study biological processes

    A model organism is a non-human species that is extensively studied to understand particular biological processes. Researchers use these organisms, such as mice, fruit flies, or zebrafish, because they share many genetic similarities with humans and have shorter life cycles, making them ideal for experiments that can provide insights into human biology, including hair growth and alopecia.
