    Glossary Follicular Differentiation

    process where hair follicle cells become specialized for hair growth

    Follicular differentiation is the process by which cells in the hair follicle develop into specialized types that contribute to hair growth. This involves the transformation of stem cells into various cell types, such as those forming the hair shaft, inner root sheath, and sebaceous glands, each playing a crucial role in the structure and function of the hair.
