    GlossaryHair Stem Cell Markers

    specific proteins identifying hair follicle stem cells

    Hair stem cell markers are specific proteins or molecules found on the surface of hair follicle stem cells. These markers help scientists identify and isolate these stem cells, which are crucial for hair growth and regeneration. For example, markers like CD34 and K15 are commonly used to pinpoint hair follicle stem cells in research and therapeutic applications.
