    GlossaryHair Follicle Development (new hair follicles)

    process where hair follicles form and mature through cellular events

    Hair follicle development, also known as hair follicle morphogenesis, is the process by which hair follicles form and mature. This involves a complex interplay of genetic, molecular, and cellular events that begin in the embryonic stage and continue through life. Key stages include the initiation of follicle placodes, the formation of hair germs, and the differentiation of various cell types that make up the follicle, ultimately leading to the production of hair shafts.
