OR2AT4 Activation by a Synthetic Odorant Stimulates Dermcidin Production in Human Hair Follicle Epithelium and Increases Follicular Resistance to Bacterial Contamination: A Novel Antimicrobial Folliculitis Therapy?

    Janin Lehmann, Jérémy Chéret, L. Ponce … Ralf Paus
    Studysummary This study suggests that stimulating olfactory receptors in human hair follicles with Sandalore® increases antimicrobial activity by upregulating dermcidin production, potentially offering a novel approach for treating hair follicle diseases with bacterial issues.
