    Glossary Pericytes

    specialized cells that support and regulate small blood vessels

    Pericytes are specialized cells that wrap around the small blood vessels, known as capillaries, in the body. They play a crucial role in maintaining blood-brain barrier integrity, regulating blood flow, and supporting the growth and repair of blood vessels. In the context of hair biology, pericytes are important for providing the necessary nutrients and oxygen to hair follicles, which can influence hair growth and health.
