I was doing some research on Follicum's FOL-005, and began looking into Osteopontin (OPN). I came across this article, and thought I would share with you all:

Based on my limited understanding, I found this fascinating. It seems OPN has three potential roles in hair regulation:
1. Facilitating the aggregation of dermal papilla during the catagen phase.
2. Protect dermal papilla from hypoxia and cytotoxins during the catagen phase.
3. Providing possible cellular immunity, which could prevent the destruction of the lower portion of the follicle.
Of course, I would love to hear what you guys think. This gave me a little more insight into the potential of Follicum's FOL-005.
