GlossarySurvivin

protein that inhibits cell death and regulates cell division

Survivin is a protein that inhibits cell death (apoptosis) and is involved in regulating cell division. It is often found at high levels in cancer cells, making it a target for cancer therapies. In the context of hair and alopecia, its role in cell survival and proliferation could be significant for understanding hair follicle health and regeneration.
