    Glossary Differentiation Factors

    molecules that guide stem cells to become specific cell types

    Differentiation factors are molecules, often proteins, that guide stem cells to develop into specific types of cells with distinct functions. For example, in the context of hair growth, these factors can influence stem cells in hair follicles to become specialized cells that produce hair.
