    protein marker in neural stem cells and hair follicle regeneration

    Nestin is a type of protein known as an intermediate filament, which is primarily found in neural stem cells and is used as a marker to identify these cells. It plays a crucial role in the development of the nervous system and is also involved in the regeneration of tissues, including hair follicles, making it significant in studies related to hair growth and alopecia.
