Hair follicle stem cell niche. The HFSC niche is composed of various component cells, such as dermal papilla, preadipocytes, adipocytes, immune cells and nerves. Systemic hormones also regulate HFSCs directly or indirectly through the HFSC niche cells. Both activating and suppressive signals are present within the HFSC niche. The probability of HFSC activation depends on the summation of all the activating and inhibitory signals
