GlossaryLabel-Retaining Cells (LRCs)

cells that divide infrequently and retain DNA labels

Label-Retaining Cells (LRCs) are a type of cell that retains a DNA label over an extended period, indicating they divide infrequently. This characteristic is often used to identify stem cells or progenitor cells in tissues, including hair follicles, as these cells typically divide less frequently than other cell types, allowing them to maintain tissue homeostasis and regeneration.
