    GlossaryCell Density

    number of cells in a specific volume or area

    Cell density refers to the number of cells present in a given volume or area of a tissue or culture. In the context of hair and alopecia, understanding cell density can help researchers determine the health and growth potential of hair follicles, as higher cell density in hair follicles might indicate robust hair growth, while lower cell density could be associated with thinning hair or hair loss.
