GlossaryK15+ cells

specific stem cells in hair follicles aiding regeneration

K15+ cells are a specific type of stem cell found in hair follicles. These cells express the protein Keratin 15 (K15), which is a marker indicating their role in hair growth and regeneration. They are crucial for the maintenance and repair of hair follicles, making them a key focus in research on hair loss and treatments for conditions like alopecia.
