GlossarySOX2

gene crucial for stem cell pluripotency and tissue development

SOX2 is a gene that plays a crucial role in maintaining the self-renewal and pluripotency of stem cells, meaning it helps stem cells stay in a state where they can develop into different types of cells. It is also involved in the development of various tissues, including the nervous system and hair follicles, making it significant in both regenerative medicine and understanding conditions like alopecia.
