    Glossary Nail Matrix

    tissue under the nail base that produces nail cells

    The nail matrix, also known as the matrix unguis or matrix of the nail, is the tissue located under the base of the nail, beneath the cuticle. It is responsible for producing the cells that become the nail plate, and its health and function are crucial for proper nail growth and formation. Damage to the nail matrix can result in permanent changes to the nail.
