GlossaryPluripotent Stem Cells (hPSCs)

cells that can develop into nearly any cell type

Pluripotent Stem Cells (PSCs) are a type of stem cell that have the ability to develop into almost any cell type in the body, including skin, hair, and organ cells. This makes them incredibly valuable for medical research and regenerative medicine, as they can potentially be used to repair or replace damaged tissues and treat various conditions, including alopecia.
