Abstract in brief

  • Hair follicles are complex structures in the skin responsible for hair growth, consisting of various layers and cell types.
  • Their development and cycling are regulated by genetic, hormonal, and environmental factors, with phases including growth (anagen), regression (catagen), and rest (telogen).
  • Understanding hair follicle biology is important for addressing hair loss conditions and developing treatments for hair regeneration.]
