Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue delves into the intricate and dynamic processes that govern ovarian physiology and reproduction. It highlights the latest advancements in our understanding of the ovary’s essential role in female fertility and reproductive health. Featuring a diverse range of articles, this issue explores critical aspects such as hormonal regulation, folliculogenesis, oocyte maturation, and the broader implications of ovarian health.
The collection also addresses key factors influencing ovarian function, including health conditions, environmental and lifestyle factors, age-related changes, and genetic and epigenetic modifications influencing ovarian health and fertility outcomes. By focusing on these diverse factors, this Special Issue fosters a deeper comprehension of ovarian physiology and its relevance to women’s health.
These contributions advance scientific knowledge and pave the way for us to integrate insights from basic research into clinical applications and foster innovative therapeutic strategies to address female infertility and related disorders. Researchers and practitioners are invited to engage with the cutting-edge studies in this collection, which reflect the dynamic nature of ovarian research and its pivotal role in advancing women's reproductive health.
Join us in exploring this vital area of research as we continue to uncover new insights into ovarian function and work toward improving fertility outcomes for women worldwide.
Dr. Atefeh Najafi
