    process of converting specialized cells into stem cell-like states

    Cell Reprogramming, also known as Cellular Reprogramming, is a process where specialized cells, such as skin cells, are converted back into a more primitive, stem cell-like state. This is typically achieved by introducing specific genes or proteins that reset the cell's identity, allowing it to potentially develop into different types of cells. This technique holds significant promise for regenerative medicine, including treatments for conditions like alopecia, where new hair follicles could be generated from reprogrammed cells.
