    clusters of cells that initiate hair follicle development

    Hair follicle germs are clusters of cells that serve as the precursors to hair follicles. These cells have the potential to develop into fully functional hair follicles, which are the structures in the skin responsible for hair growth. In the context of hair regeneration and treatments for conditions like alopecia, hair follicle germs are crucial because they can be used to stimulate new hair growth.
