GlossaryHair Matrix Cell Proliferation

process where hair follicle cells rapidly divide for growth

Hair Matrix Cell Proliferation refers to the process by which cells in the hair matrix, located at the base of the hair follicle, rapidly divide and multiply. This cell division is crucial for hair growth, as these new cells push older cells upward, eventually forming the hair shaft that emerges from the scalp. For professionals, understanding this process is key to addressing hair growth disorders and developing treatments for conditions like alopecia.
