GlossaryInterfollicular Stem Cells

cells in skin between hair follicles aiding epidermis repair

Interfollicular stem cells are a type of stem cell found in the skin, specifically in the areas between hair follicles. These cells play a crucial role in the regeneration and repair of the skin's outer layer, the epidermis, by continuously producing new skin cells to replace those that are shed or damaged.
