Nails are formed from a protein called keratin, produced by specialized cells in the nail matrix, which is located beneath the base of the nail. As new cells are created, they push older cells forward, causing the nail to grow. This process occurs continuously, resulting in the visible hard structure of the nail that extends beyond the fingertip. Proper nutrition and health can influence nail growth and strength.
