    GlossaryOrgan Size Control

    biological processes regulate growth and final size of organs

    Organ Size Control refers to the biological processes that regulate the growth and final size of organs in an organism. This involves a complex interplay of genetic, molecular, and environmental factors that ensure organs grow to the appropriate size for proper function. For example, in hair follicles, organ size control mechanisms ensure that hair grows to a specific length and thickness, which can be disrupted in conditions like alopecia.
