GnRH–Celebrating 50 years: New JNE Special Issue
We’re delighted to announce the publication of GnRH 50 – A Special issue celebrating the 50th Anniversary of the Discovery of Gonadotropin-Releasing Hormone (GnRH) in the Journal of Neuroendocrinology.
The discovery of gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) has over the last 50 years changed the shape of neuroendocrinology and treatments for infertility and reproductive disorders. Journal of Neuroendocrinology is celebrating this milestone with a Special Issue focused on GnRH action in the brain and how this affects reproduction. The Special Issue features 17 state-of-the-art reviews and is guest edited by Dr Michael Lehman, supported by an editorial team.
All articles are free to read for two months and six articles are open access.
“The discovery of gonadotropin-releasing hormone changed the shape of neuroendocrinology and has led to new treatments emerged for infertility and a host of reproductive orders. In bringing together investigators across research interests and disciplines, the reviews in this special issue offer new ways to see this field of research and its unresolved questions. We hope it inspires remarkable scientific progress for the next 50 years!”
– Michael Lehman, Guest Editor
