    specialized cells at hair follicle base crucial for hair growth

    Dermal Papilla Cells (DPCs) are specialized cells located at the base of hair follicles. They play a crucial role in hair growth and regeneration by interacting with surrounding cells to regulate the hair growth cycle. These cells are essential for the formation of new hair follicles and are a key focus in research on hair loss treatments and regenerative medicine.
