Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Oxidative stress is a critical regulator of reproductive physiology, affecting gametogenesis, fertilisation, embryo development, implantation, and pregnancy outcomes. The disruption of redox balance has been linked to infertility, recurrent pregnancy loss, foetal growth restriction, and pre-eclampsia. This Special Issue will present cutting-edge basic, translational, and clinical research exploring oxidative stress in reproduction and development, novel antioxidant interventions, and implications for reproductive health. We welcome contributions from molecular biology, clinical medicine, and interdisciplinary fields.
