    Glossary Hair Differentiation

    process where cells become specialized to form hair

    Hair differentiation refers to the process by which cells in the hair follicle develop into specialized hair cells. This involves a series of genetic and biochemical changes that enable these cells to produce the structural proteins, like keratin, that form the hair shaft. For professionals, understanding hair differentiation is crucial for studying hair growth disorders and developing treatments for conditions like alopecia.
