    Glossary Activin

    protein regulating cell growth and hair follicle development

    Activin is a protein that plays a crucial role in regulating various biological processes, including cell growth, inflammation, and hormone secretion. It is particularly important in the context of hair biology, as it can influence hair follicle development and cycling, potentially impacting conditions like alopecia.
