GlossaryHair Follicle Epithelial Stem Cells (HFSCs)

specialized cells that regenerate and produce new hair

Hair Follicle Epithelial Stem Cells are specialized cells located in the hair follicle that have the ability to regenerate and produce new hair. These cells play a crucial role in the growth cycle of hair, as they can differentiate into various cell types needed for hair formation and repair, making them essential for maintaining healthy hair and potentially treating conditions like alopecia.
