Research progress on the establishment of animal models of androgenetic alopecia
Androgenetic alopecia (AGA) is the most common type of hair loss in the clinic and often harms the physical and mental health of patients. With the decreasing age of onset of AGA
the incidence rate increases year by year
and correspondingly
the demand for AGA treatment also rises
prompting research to determine effective drugs for AGA treatment. Animal models of androgenic alopecia play a key role in exploring its treatment
and selecting appropriate alopecia models according to different needs can significantly enhance the efficiency of the research. This paper reviews the commonly used methods for establishing androgenetic alopecia animal models
providing a reference for researchers selecting appropriate animal models and accelerating drug discovery and development.
