    Glossary Hair Follicle Apoptosis

    programmed cell death within hair follicles

    Hair follicle apoptosis refers to the programmed cell death of cells within the hair follicle. This process is a natural part of the hair growth cycle, particularly during the transition from the growth phase (anagen) to the regression phase (catagen), and it helps regulate hair growth and shedding.
