    process where cells become specialized to form hair structures

    Hair cell differentiation is the process by which unspecialized cells develop into specialized hair cells, which are responsible for producing hair. This involves a series of genetic and biochemical changes that enable these cells to form the structures necessary for hair growth, such as the hair shaft and follicle. Understanding this process is crucial for developing treatments for hair loss conditions like alopecia.
