    GlossaryCXCL12

    signaling protein involved in immune response and tissue repair

    CXCL12, also known as Stromal cell-derived factor 1 (SDF-1), is a protein that plays a crucial role in the body's immune response and tissue repair. It acts as a signaling molecule, attracting cells to areas where they are needed, such as sites of injury or inflammation. This protein is also important in the development and maintenance of various tissues, including hair follicles, and has been studied for its potential role in conditions like alopecia.
