    Glossary Quiescence

    state of cellular dormancy without active division

    Quiescence refers to a state of inactivity or dormancy in cells, where they are not actively dividing but are still metabolically active. In the context of hair biology, hair follicle stem cells can enter a quiescent state, pausing their growth and division until they receive signals to re-enter the active phase of the hair growth cycle. This process is crucial for maintaining the long-term health and regenerative capacity of hair follicles.
