    GlossaryDifferentiation Potential

    ability of a stem cell to become specialized cell types

    Differentiation Potential, also known as Differentiation Capacity or Cell Differentiation Potential, refers to the ability of a stem cell to develop into different types of specialized cells. For example, in the context of hair biology, stem cells in hair follicles have the potential to differentiate into various cell types that make up the hair shaft and surrounding structures. This concept is crucial for understanding tissue regeneration and developing treatments for conditions like alopecia.
