    study of hair follicle structure, function, and growth cycles

    Hair Follicle Biology is the study of the structure, function, and growth cycles of hair follicles, which are tiny organs in the skin responsible for producing hair. This field examines how hair follicles develop, how they cycle through phases of growth and rest, and how various factors like genetics, hormones, and environmental influences affect hair health and disorders such as alopecia.
