Evidence that the bulge region is a site of relative immune privilege in human hair follicles

Background  Recent gene profiling data suggest that, besides the anagen hair bulb, the epithelial stem cell region in the outer root sheath of hair follicles (HFs), termed the bulge, may also represent an area of relative immune privilege (IP).
