GlossaryFollicular Epithelial Cells

specialized cells lining hair follicles, aiding hair growth

Follicular epithelial cells are specialized cells that line the hair follicles in the skin. They play a crucial role in the growth and development of hair by supporting the hair matrix cells, which are responsible for producing the hair shaft. These cells also help maintain the health and function of the hair follicle, making them essential for normal hair growth and regeneration.
