    GlossaryE-cadherin

    protein that helps cells stick together in tissues

    E-cadherin is a protein that helps cells stick together, playing a crucial role in maintaining the structure and function of tissues. It is particularly important in epithelial cells, which line the surfaces and cavities of organs. In the context of hair and alopecia, E-cadherin is involved in the regulation of hair follicle development and cycling, and its dysfunction can contribute to hair loss.
