Methodological Challenges for Ablation of BMPR1A in Hypothalamic Tanycytes—A Cautionary Tale
Two strategies were used to target BMPR1A in adult hypothalamic tanycytes: (1) inducible Rax‐CreERT2 and (2) AAV‐Dio2‐iCre–mediated recombination. Although robust expression of reporter fluorescence and recombination gel analysis confirmed Cre activity in both models, BMPR1A expression was not reduced in targeted tanycytes.

Arcuate AgRP neurons mediate orexigenic and glucoregulatory actions of ghrelin
The hormone ghrelin stimulates eating and helps maintain blood glucose upon caloric restriction. While previous studies have demonstrated that hypothalamic arcuate AgRP neurons are targets of ghrelin, the overall relevance of ghrelin signaling within intact AgRP neurons is unclear.
