Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The endometrium is the reproductive tissue lining the uterus and undergoes extensive cyclic growth, regeneration, differentiation, and shedding throughout the menstrual cycle in response to steroid hormones. Endometrium abnormalities may be associated with repeated embryonic implantation failure, recurrent spontaneous abortions, and other physiological features contributing to female infertility. We hope that this Special Issue, titled "Properties and Functions of Endometrial Stromal Cells", will serve as a stepping stone to propose solutions for the abnormalities resulting from endometrial dysfunction in humans. This Special Issue welcomes your contributions in the form of original articles, reviews, or perspective articles on any aspect of recent advances in reproduction.
