GlossaryHair Follicle Stem Cell Niche (HFSC Niche)

specialized microenvironment regulating hair follicle stem cells

The Hair Follicle Stem Cell Niche, also known as the HFSC Niche, is a specialized microenvironment within the hair follicle that houses and regulates hair follicle stem cells. This niche provides the necessary signals and support to maintain stem cell function, enabling the cyclical growth, rest, and shedding phases of hair. It plays a crucial role in hair regeneration and repair, making it a key area of interest in studies related to hair loss and regenerative medicine.
