    Glossary Niche

    role of an organism within its ecosystem

    In biology, a niche refers to the role or function of an organism within its ecosystem, including its interactions with other organisms and its environment. For example, in the context of hair biology, the niche of hair follicle stem cells includes their specific location in the skin, the signals they receive from surrounding cells, and their role in hair growth and regeneration.
