    GlossaryHair Follicle Immune Privilege

    unique ability to avoid immune system attacks on hair follicles

    Hair Follicle Immune Privilege refers to the unique ability of hair follicles to protect themselves from the body's immune system. This means that certain immune responses are suppressed in the hair follicle area to prevent inflammation and autoimmune attacks, which is crucial for normal hair growth and preventing conditions like alopecia areata.
