    Glossary Calcification

    process where calcium accumulates in tissues, causing hardening

    Calcification is the process where calcium builds up in body tissues, causing them to harden. This can occur in various parts of the body, including arteries, organs, and even hair follicles, potentially leading to conditions like arteriosclerosis or contributing to hair loss by affecting the scalp's health.
