    GlossaryStem Cell Loss

    reduction of regenerative cells impairing tissue repair and growth

    Stem cell loss refers to the reduction or depletion of stem cells in a particular tissue or organ. Stem cells are crucial for regenerating and repairing tissues, so their loss can lead to impaired healing and tissue degeneration. In the context of hair, stem cell loss in hair follicles can contribute to conditions like alopecia, where hair growth is significantly reduced or halted.
