GlossaryLaminin

protein crucial for cell adhesion and tissue structure

Laminin is a protein found in the extracellular matrix, which is the network of molecules outside cells that provides structural and biochemical support to surrounding cells. It plays a crucial role in tissue architecture, cell adhesion, differentiation, and migration. Laminin is essential for the integrity and function of tissues, including the skin and hair follicles, making it significant in studies related to hair growth and alopecia.
