    GlossaryInterleukin-7

    protein crucial for T cell development and hair follicle maintenance

    Interleukin-7 (IL-7) is a protein that plays a crucial role in the immune system by promoting the development and survival of T cells, which are essential for the body's defense against infections. It is also involved in the maintenance of hair follicles, and disruptions in IL-7 signaling can be linked to conditions like alopecia, where hair loss occurs due to immune system imbalances.
