Optical control of the hypothalamic arcuate nucleus kisspeptin neuronal network with a photoswitchable peptide that drives luteinizing hormone release in female mice

Journal of Neuroendocrinology, Volume 38, Issue 9, September 2026.
Abstract Pulsatile gonadotropin‐releasing hormone (GnRH) and luteinizing hormone (LH) secretion are essential for reproductive function and are thought to be governed by arcuate nucleus kisspeptin Kiss1ARH neurons via neurokinin B (NKB) signaling through TacR3.
