    specialized skin microenvironment regulating hair growth and regeneration

    The hair follicle niche is a specialized microenvironment within the skin where hair follicles reside. It contains various cells, signaling molecules, and extracellular matrix components that work together to regulate hair growth, cycling, and regeneration. This niche plays a crucial role in maintaining the health and function of hair follicles, and disruptions in this environment can lead to conditions like alopecia.
