ability to self-renew and differentiate into specialized cells

Stemness refers to the unique properties that define a stem cell, including its ability to self-renew (make copies of itself) and differentiate (develop into different types of specialized cells). This concept is crucial in both developmental biology and regenerative medicine, as it underpins the potential of stem cells to repair or replace damaged tissues, including hair follicles in cases of alopecia.
