    GlossaryStem Cell Niche

    specialized microenvironment regulating stem cell behavior and maintenance

    A stem cell niche is a specialized microenvironment within a tissue where stem cells are found. This niche provides the necessary support, signals, and conditions that regulate stem cell behavior, including their self-renewal and differentiation. Essentially, it's like a "home" for stem cells, ensuring they function properly and maintain tissue health.
