Did you mean Hair Follicle Epithelium?

GlossaryHair Follicle Epithelium

layer of cells lining the hair-producing cavity in skin

The hair follicle epithelium is the layer of cells that lines the hair follicle, which is the small cavity in the skin from which hair grows. This epithelium plays a crucial role in the growth, cycling, and regeneration of hair, and it includes various specialized cells that contribute to the formation and maintenance of the hair shaft.
