5 / 1000+ resultsresearch Folliculin encoded by the BHD gene interacts with a binding protein, FNIP1, and AMPK, and is involved in AMPK and mTOR signaling
This study suggests that folliculin, mutated in Birt–Hogg–Dubé syndrome, and its partner FNIP1 may play a role in energy and nutrient sensing through the AMPK and mTOR pathways.
research Penetration Profile of Microspheres in Follicular Targeting of Terminal Hair Follicles
This study found that using a standardized protocol with microspheres of approximately 1.5 micrometers enhances penetration into hair follicles, particularly when skin is treated with cyanoacrylate skin surface stripping.
research Folliculitis decalvans including tufted folliculitis: clinical, histological and therapeutic findings
This study reported that a treatment regimen of oral rifampicin and clindamycin for 10 weeks effectively managed folliculitis decalvans, with most patients experiencing no recurrence after one or multiple courses.
research The Follicular Skin Microbiome in Patients With Hidradenitis Suppurativa and Healthy Controls
This study found that the skin microbiome in patients with hidradenitis suppurativa differs significantly from healthy controls, suggesting a potential link between microbial imbalance and the disease.
research Keratinocyte growth factor is an important endogenous mediator of hair follicle growth, development, and differentiation. Normalization of the nu/nu follicular differentiation defect and amelioration of chemotherapy-induced alopecia.
This study found that recombinant keratinocyte growth factor (rKGF) stimulated hair growth and provided a protective effect against alopecia in murine models, suggesting its role in hair follicle development and regeneration.

community Information regarding Follicusan DP?
Follicusan DP is discussed as a potential alternative to Minoxidil without side effects, but information is scarce. It is noted to be of German origin and details on its mechanism are limited.
community Targeted Follicular Finasteride Delivery: A Low-Systemic Strategy
A peptide-based delivery system for finasteride shows promise in reducing systemic side effects while maintaining hair growth effectiveness. Combining this with other treatments like minoxidil and RU58841 could enhance results with lower systemic absorption.
community Black light diagnosis of folliculitis
A user observed orange fluorescence on their nose and hair under a black light, indicating Cutibacterium acnes, which may contribute to hair loss alongside androgenic alopecia. A suggestion was made to use coal tar shampoo to address the issue.
community Finally Scalp Folliculitis-Free after 2 Decades of Suffering
A 37-year-old male resolved scalp folliculitis by adopting a low-histamine diet and taking Vitamin A, Zinc, and Fish Oil, leading to better skin health and thicker hair. He warns about the potential toxicity of excessive Vitamin A intake.
