GlossaryVimentin

protein maintaining cell shape and integrity within cytoskeleton

Vimentin is a type of protein found in cells that helps maintain their shape and integrity. It is part of the cytoskeleton, which is the framework inside cells that supports their structure and helps them move. In the context of hair and alopecia, vimentin can be involved in the health and function of hair follicle cells.
