    GlossaryHair Follicle Differentiation

    process where hair follicle cells become specialized structures

    Hair follicle differentiation is the process by which cells within the hair follicle develop into specialized cell types that form the various structures of the hair, such as the hair shaft, inner root sheath, and outer root sheath. This process is crucial for the growth and maintenance of healthy hair, involving a complex interplay of genetic, molecular, and environmental factors.
