    GlossaryCalcium Influx

    movement of calcium ions into a cell through channels

    Calcium influx refers to the movement of calcium ions (Ca²⁺) into a cell, typically through specialized channels in the cell membrane. This process is crucial for various cellular functions, including muscle contraction, neurotransmitter release, and cell signaling. In the context of hair biology, calcium influx can influence hair follicle cycling and potentially impact conditions like alopecia.
