GlossaryMatrix Cells

specialized cells that generate new hair growth

Matrix cells are specialized cells located at the base of the hair follicle, within the hair bulb. These cells are responsible for producing the hair shaft and the inner root sheath through rapid cell division and differentiation. Essentially, they are the "building blocks" that generate new hair growth.
