    cells in the lowest epidermal layer producing new skin cells

    Basal cells are a type of cell found in the lowest layer of the epidermis, which is the outermost layer of the skin. They are responsible for producing new skin cells, which then move up to replace older cells that are shed from the surface. In the context of hair, basal cells in the hair follicle play a crucial role in hair growth and regeneration.
