    GlossaryFollicular Epithelium

    layer of cells lining hair follicle, crucial for hair growth

    The follicular epithelium refers to the layer of cells that line the hair follicle, which is the small cavity in the skin from which hair grows. These cells play a crucial role in the growth and cycling of hair, as they are involved in the formation and maintenance of the hair shaft. For professionals, understanding the follicular epithelium is essential for studying hair growth disorders and developing treatments for conditions like alopecia.
