Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Reproductive biology involves the scientific study of the reproductive system. Improved understanding of reproductive biology can lead to new treatments for reproductive disorders, such as infertility.
Infertility is a challenge faced by millions of couples worldwide, and advances in IVF (in vitro fertilization) technology have been a ray of hope for many. With cutting-edge developments in 2025, it is important to understand the latest breakthroughs that are transforming assisted reproductive technology.
Increased demand for in vitro fertilization due to socio-demographic trends and supply facilitated by new technologies converged to transform the way a substantial proportion of humans reproduce.
Continuous research and development in human reproduction and its molecular mechanisms form the basis for its evolution and development.
Ultimately, this Special Issue not only aims to contribute to the existing literature but also seeks to inspire ongoing efforts to enhance the development of human reproductive biology.
Dr. Nikolaos Machairiotis
Guest Editor
