Uterine Meaning in Diseases of Animals

Dear Colleagues,

The origin of reproductive tract diseases in farm and domestic animals is associated with systemic inflammatory processes or inflammations within the reproductive organs. The influence of nutrition on the condition of the organism, including the proper course of female reproductive processes, is very important. Some genetic predisposition also plays a role in uterine diseases. Depending on the species, it is known that a disturbed maternal transmission system and uterine environment may contribute to dysfunction during pregnancy at various stages.

In farm animals, persistent diseases within the reproductive system—including the uterus—cause economic losses in breeding in the long-term balance. On the other hand, the knowledge of molecular factors and signaling pathways induced during uterine endometrium and myometrium dysfunction in selected species may constitute a research model for female diseases.

This Research Topic is gathering original research, reviews, brief research reports, and case reports.
