    Glossary Hair Placodes

    small skin thickenings initiating hair follicle development

    Hair placodes are small, thickened areas of skin that form during early embryonic development and serve as the initial sites for hair follicle formation. These structures are crucial because they signal the underlying dermal cells to start the complex process of hair follicle development, eventually leading to hair growth.
