    process stimulating dormant cells to divide and specialize

    Stem cell activation refers to the process by which dormant stem cells are stimulated to begin dividing and differentiating into specialized cell types. This is crucial for tissue repair and regeneration, as well as for maintaining healthy hair growth. In the context of hair, activating stem cells in hair follicles can potentially reverse conditions like alopecia by promoting the growth of new hair.
