    GlossaryHair Follicle Cell Proliferation

    process of cells rapidly dividing within hair follicle

    Hair follicle cell proliferation refers to the process by which cells within the hair follicle rapidly divide and multiply. This cellular activity is crucial for hair growth and regeneration, as it replenishes the cells that form the hair shaft and surrounding structures. For professionals, understanding this process is key to developing treatments for hair loss conditions like alopecia.
