    GlossaryTransit Amplifying Cells

    cells derived from stem cells that rapidly divide before specializing

    Transit Amplifying Cells (TACs) are a type of progenitor cell that arise from stem cells and undergo a limited number of rapid divisions before differentiating into specialized cells. In the context of hair biology, TACs play a crucial role in the hair growth cycle by proliferating to produce the cells that form the hair shaft and surrounding structures.
