  Studying Human Hair Follicles through Animal Models and Other Methods
  Author(s): Ellis Sono*
  
  Understanding human hair follicle biology is crucial for developing treatments for hair disorders and promoting hair regrowth. This study explores various approaches, including animal models and other methods, for studying human hair follicles. Animal models such as mice, rats and pigs have been extensively utilized due to their genetic tractability, physiological similarities and feasibility for experimental manipulation. These models offer insights into hair follicle development, cycling and regeneration, as well as the pathogenesis of hair disorders. Additionally, in vitro models using human hair follicle organ culture, 3D skin equivalents and tissue engineering techniques provide valuable tools for investigating hair follicle biology and evaluating therapeutic interventions. Furthermore, advances in imaging modalities, molecular profiling and omics tec.. Read More»
