GlossaryStromal Cells

connective tissue cells supporting organ structure and function

Stromal cells are a type of connective tissue cell found in various organs, including the skin, bone marrow, and fat. They provide structural support and secrete factors that help regulate the function and growth of nearby cells, including those involved in hair growth and repair. For professionals, stromal cells are crucial in tissue engineering and regenerative medicine due to their role in creating a supportive microenvironment for tissue regeneration.
