    Glossary wound-induced hair follicle neogenesis

    process where new hair follicles form after skin injury

    Wound-induced hair follicle neogenesis is a process where new hair follicles are formed in the skin as a result of injury or wounding. This phenomenon is significant because, unlike normal hair growth which relies on existing follicles, it involves the skin's ability to regenerate new follicles, offering potential insights for treating conditions like alopecia or hair loss.
