March 2026 in “Trends in Sciences” This study successfully developed a testosterone propionate-induced C57BL/6 mouse model of androgenetic alopecia (AGA), which mirrors human AGA pathology. Using 21 male mice divided into seven groups, the research demonstrated that high-dose (1.5 mg/day) and prolonged exposure (14 days) to testosterone propionate resulted in complete hair growth arrest, significant dermal thinning, follicular depletion, and marked suppression of β-catenin expression. These findings highlight the model's potential as a robust and physiologically relevant platform for exploring the mechanisms of AGA and testing therapeutic agents targeting the Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway. Despite the small sample size, the model provides a valuable tool for preclinical studies.
