    GlossaryHair Follicle Mesenchymal Stem Cells (Hair Follicle MSCs)

    cells in hair follicles that can become various tissue types

    Hair Follicle Mesenchymal Stem Cells (HF-MSCs) are a type of stem cell found within the hair follicle that have the ability to differentiate into various cell types, including those that form skin, hair, and connective tissues. These cells play a crucial role in hair growth, wound healing, and tissue regeneration, making them a significant focus in regenerative medicine and treatments for conditions like alopecia.
