    Glossary Nail Growth

    process of new cells forming in nail matrix

    Nail growth refers to the process by which new cells are produced in the nail matrix, located under the base of the nail. These new cells push older cells forward, causing the nail to extend over the fingertip. The rate of nail growth can be influenced by factors such as age, nutrition, and overall health.
