    condition where aging cells release inflammatory molecules and enzymes

    Senescence-Associated Secretory Phenotype (SASP) refers to a condition where aging or damaged cells release a variety of inflammatory molecules, growth factors, and enzymes into their surroundings. This secretion can contribute to tissue dysfunction, chronic inflammation, and age-related diseases, including hair loss and alopecia, by affecting the local cellular environment and promoting further cellular damage.
