GlossaryBulge Cells

specialized stem cells in hair follicles aiding growth and repair

Bulge cells are specialized stem cells located in the hair follicle's bulge area, which is a region near the base of the hair follicle. These cells play a crucial role in hair growth and regeneration, as they have the ability to differentiate into various cell types needed for the hair follicle's structure and function. For professionals, it's important to note that bulge cells are also involved in wound healing and can contribute to the regeneration of the epidermis.
