Musk glands and skin in Chinese forest musk deer are closely related and share many genes.

Blocking Wnt signaling in young mice causes thymus shrinkage and cell loss, but recovery is possible when the block is removed.

Keratin2-6g is crucial for hair follicle development, with mutations causing cell degeneration and vacuolation.

Amenorrhea is relatively rare and initial testing should check FSH, TSH, and prolactin levels.

Oral retinoids are effective for severe skin conditions but require careful use due to side effects.

Some patients with mycosis fungoides or Sézary syndrome experience hair loss, which may be similar to alopecia areata or linked to skin lesions, possibly due to abnormal T cells, and bexarotene can help treat it.

Amenorrhea is when a woman doesn't have periods, with primary amenorrhea starting by age 15 or within five years of breast development, and secondary amenorrhea when periods stop for three months. It affects 3-4% of women not pregnant, breastfeeding, or in menopause, mainly due to polycystic ovary syndrome, hypothalamic amenorrhea, hyperprolactinemia, and ovarian failure.

Lupus can look like hair loss from alopecia areata but needs different treatment.

NBCCS and BFHS might be the same syndrome, helping better identify and manage cases.

Amenorrhea, or the absence of periods, should be evaluated by age 15 or within five years of early breast development, and is most commonly caused by conditions like polycystic ovary syndrome and hypothalamic amenorrhea.
