Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Reproductive health is fundamental to human well-being, yet challenges such as infertility, pregnancy loss, and ovarian dysfunction affect millions globally. The intricate interplay of endocrine, immune, and molecular pathways in reproduction demands innovative approaches. Recent breakthroughs in AI, stem cell biology, gene therapy, and nanotechnology have revolutionized our ability to decode reproductive mechanisms and develop targeted interventions. For instance, AI-powered embryo assessment tools and collagen-based therapies for maternal–fetal interface regulation have shown promise in improving pregnancy outcomes.
This Special Issue seeks to consolidate research that bridges technological innovation with clinical needs in reproductive health. Topics will include, but are not limited to:
- AI and machine learning in reproductive medicine (e.g., embryo development, IVF outcome prediction, miscarriage risk assessment);
- Stem cell, gene, and regenerative therapies for ovarian dysfunction and fertility preservation;
- Molecular mechanisms of meiosis, implantation, and maternal–fetal immune tolerance;
- Nanomedicine and biomaterials for targeted drug delivery in reproductive disorders;
- Translational studies on collagen biology in pregnancy complications.
We welcome original research articles, reviews, and short communications addressing:
- AI-driven diagnostics and personalized treatment in fertility clinics;
- iPSC-derived ovarian cell regeneration and follicle activation;
- DNA double-strand break repair in meiosis and its relevance to infertility;
- Role of collagen in decidual immune microenvironment and follicular development;
- Nanocarrier-based therapies for premature ovarian insufficiency (POI).
I look forward to receiving your contributions.

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Biomedicines is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2600 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
