	Follicular Lymphomas (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-15)
		It stands to reason that cases with a follicular growth pattern tend to be more indolent: the neoplastic cells must be fairly well differentiated to retain their B-lymphoid ability to self-assemble into follicles.
		Conversely follicular lymphomas that grow predominantly diffusely have lost a key characteristic of follicle cells, which is a sign of dedifferentiation and a harbinger of more aggressive behavior.
		Follicular lymphomas are composed of malignant cells that resemble their equivalents in the normal lymphoid follicle.

		In the postnatal follicular growth cycle, an appear once of the follicular germ cells (Figure 2a) in the base of a telogen (resting) follicle first develops to a follicular peg, then to a bulbous peg, and finally to a complete anagen follicle.
		Telogen Phase During catagen, a hair produced in the anagen bulb remains in the upper follicular sheath, and the lower tip of the keratinized hair cortex is tightly attached to the epidermal cells of the upper follicular sheath.
		The diverse follicular changes found in alopecia areata patients, which include various degrees of folliculac degeneration, inflammatory cell infiltration, dystrophic hair matrices, and the concomitant presence of uninvolved (or at least apparently normal) cyclic follicles, are all likely due to the different clinical stages, previous treatment, and probably different pathogenetic background of each patient.

		Follicular mycosis fungoides (MF) is an uncommon subtype of cutaneous T-cell lymphoma.
		In follicular MF the follicular infiltrate is largely made up of atypical lymphocytes, whereas in follicular mucinosis an infiltrate composed of eosinophils, lymphocytes, and other inflammatory cells is present around the hair follicle (2).
		The disease-specific survival was 26% for patients with follicular MF vs. 84% for patients with plaque stage and 61% for patients with tumor stage mycosis fungoides (7).

	Follicular lymphoma : CancerBACUP
		Follicular lymphoma, like other cancers, is not infectious and cannot be passed on to other people.
		Follicular lymphoma is very sensitive to chemotherapy and often disappears with this treatment.
		New treatments for follicular lymphoma are being researched all the time, and you might be invited by your doctor to take part in a clinical trial to compare a new treatment against the best available standard treatment.

	Follicular Unit Transplantation - NHI
		These natural hair groupings are the clinical correlate of the follicular unit and have a density of approximately 10 units per 10mm2 field, supporting the view of Headington that the absolute number of follicular units per unit area in man appears to be relatively constant and is around one per mm2.
		Follicular Unit - the unit of tissue moved in the follicular transplantation process, consisting of a hair follicle, associated hair shafts and peri-folliculum.
		Follicular Transplantation - a method of hair restoration surgery by which follicular implants are harvested, prepared, and placed in accordance with long-term strategic planning of design to maximize the cosmetic benefit to the patient throughout his lifetime.

	Dr. Panagotacos: Follicular Unit Micrograft Hair Transplants, San Francisco, California
		Follicular unit micrografts typically measure 1/2mm to 1 mm across, which is much smaller than a grain of rice.
		Follicular unit micrografting is now the current state-of-the-art surgical hair restoration technique, and is the method Dr. Panagotacos uses.
		But the cutting of single hair grafts from follicular units containing two or more hair follicles increased the risk of graft failure, and the end result of using only single-hair grafts was a sort of thin fuzzy coverage that did not look natural.

	Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-15)
		Follicular unit extraction is a minimally invasive procedure for performing follicular unit hair transplantation.
		However, unlike the predominant follicular unit transplant procedure, in which a strip of donor tissue is removed and dissected under magnification, the FUE procedure uses a small punch to extract each follicular unit one by one.
		With the Follicular Unit Extraction or FUE procedure 1, 2, 3, and 4 hair follicular unit grafts are carefully extracted one at a time using a tiny punch of one millimeter or less.

		Higher magnifications (x40) of areas found to be positive for follicular stem cell markers are shown next to the respective areas of the hair follicle.
		Follicular Multiplication is a project that was started approximately eight years ago, prior to Hair Multiplication.
		With this study we revealed that it was not necessary to transplant the entire follicular unit to regenerate differentiated hair growth, but only a part of the follicular unit.

	Ovarian Cysts
		The symptoms of follicular cysts are different from symptoms of ovarian cancer.
		However, since most follicular cysts resolve within one menstrual cycle, the first step is simply observation, eliminating the need for expensive tests and treatment.
		Instead, the little blood vessels that feed the follicular sac and bleed during ovulation continue to bleed into the empty sac and form a blood-filled cyst.

		Flaps move follicular units in their original form but do so at great cost in terms of limited coverage, possible substantial donor and recipient site scarring, risk of partial or total flap necrosis, and highly inefficient use of precious and irreplaceable donor hair.
		Because each follicular unit represents a graft, the number of cm² of donor surface area required to achieve the desired numbers of grafts is a simple mathematic calculation.
		During the implantation stage, the follicular unit grafts are placed into the anesthetized recipient zone using small punch holes (0.75-1 mm), small slit incisions (1-2 mm in length), or needle tunnels made by 19- to 22-gauge needles.

	Follicular Unit Transplantation
		Follicular Unit Transplantation is a technique, pioneered by the physicians at the New Hair Institute, in which hair is transplanted from the permanent zone in the back of the scalp into areas affected by genetic balding (and some other types of hair loss), using only the naturally occurring, individual follicular units.
		Grafts comprised of individual follicular units are small because follicular units are small, and because the surrounding non-hair bearing tissue is removed under the microscope is not transplanted.
		Because the tiny follicular unit grafts (and the very small wounds they are placed in) allow large number of grafts to be safely transplanted in one procedure, the total restoration can be completed in the fewest possible sessions.

	Hair transplant for hair loss and baldness, determining the quality of your FUE follicular unit extraction hair ...
		Follicular unit extraction (FUE) is undeniably the most sought after alternative to traditional hair transplant procedures in the world.
		A follicular unit is transected when it is unintentionally cut off horizontally somewhere in the middle during the extraction process.
		As you can imagine, extracting follicular unit B would prove to be a lot more difficult than extracting folllicular unit A because there is no way for the doctor to know in advance the extent of the curl that exists beneath the skin.

	Follicular Lymphoma Survival Model, November 18, 2004 Press Release - National Institutes of Health (NIH)
		The model is based on two sets of genes — called survival-associated signatures — whose activity was found to be associated with good or poor prognosis for patients with the cancer.
		The scientists' results, to be published in the November 19, 2004, New England Journal of Medicine , suggest that immune cells infiltrating follicular* lymphoma tumors have an important impact on survival — both signatures came from such immune cells.
		The biopsies were taken between 1974 and 2001 and came from North American and European institutions that are part of the NCI-sponsored Lymphoma/Leukemia Molecular Profiling Project **.

	Lymphoma Information Network - Follicular Lymphomas
		Follicular lymphomas (or more formally speaking, follicular center cell lymphomas with a follicular growth pattern) are one of the more common non-Hodgkin's lymphomas in North America.
		These lymphomas are the only intermediate grade follicular lymphomas - they are classified as indolent but their aggressive nature is noted by NCI.
		Large-cell follicular lymphoma is classified as an intermediate-grade lymphoma, and the patients may benefit from the inclusion of an anthracycline in their chemotherapy.

	Follicular mucinosis associated with mycosis fungoides
		To reflect the fact that the disease does not always present with or result in alopecia, the entity was renamed follicular mucinosa or follicular mucinosis in 1959.
		Follicular mucinosis may occur either as a primary benign disorder or as a secondary disorder associated with other benign or malignant diseases.
		Common presentations include plaques with prominent follicular openings and keratotic plugs and generalized or grouped follicular papules distributed on the trunk, proximal limbs, face, and scalp.

	Primary Cutaneous Follicular Center Cell Lymphoma
		Cases of primary cutaneous follicular lymphoma were characterized by the expression of classic markers of the germinal center, such as bcl6, CD10, and the presence of aggregates of follicular dendritic cells.
		Primary cutaneous B-cell lymphomas displaying a prominent follicular growth pattern are rare and remain poorly defined, particularly in terms of the frequency of detection of t(14;18) and whether or not, as a group, they represent an entity distinct from follicular lymphoma arising in lymph nodes.
		In both follicular and interfollicular/diffuse areas of FL the neoplastic cells were bcl-6+ (10 of 10), often CD10+ (seven of 10, four of seven primary), and bcl-2+ (nine of 10, six of seven primary).

	Follicular Thyroid Cancer Overview.
		Follicular cancer cells absorb iodine (although to a lesser degree in older patients) and therefore they can be targeted for death by giving the toxic isotope (I-131).
		Once again, not everybody with follicular thyroid cancer needs this therapy, but those with larger tumors, spread to lymph nodes or other areas, tumors which appear aggressive microscopically, tumors which invade blood vessels within the thyroid, and older patients may benefit from this therapy.
		There is good evidence that follicular carcinoma (like papillary cancer) responds to thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) secreted by the pituitary, therefore, exogenous thyroid hormone is given which results in decreased TSH levels and a lower impetus for any remaining cancer cells to grow.
