GlossaryStem Cell Behavior

ability of stem cells to self-renew and differentiate

Stem cell behavior refers to the various activities and responses of stem cells, including their ability to self-renew (make more of themselves) and differentiate (turn into different types of cells). This behavior is crucial for tissue repair and regeneration, as well as for maintaining the balance of cell types in the body. Understanding stem cell behavior is essential for developing treatments for conditions like alopecia, where hair follicle stem cells might be targeted to promote hair growth.
