Abstract
Premature ovarian insufficiency (POI) severely impacts women's reproductive and overall health, yet effective treatments remain elusive. Research on its pathogenic mechanisms and therapeutic strategies is therefore critical. Due to the scarcity of ovarian samples from POI patients, animal models have become indispensable tools for investigation. Notably, immune-related POI accounts for an increasing proportion of cases, with over half of idiopathic POI cases hypothesized to involve immune dysregulation. Consequently, immune-mediated POI animal models are widely used to study immune-related mechanisms. This article compares the advantages, limitations, and applications of various immune-related POI animal models, aiming to guide researchers in selecting the most appropriate model for their specific research goals and experimental designs.
