Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Reproductive biology is undergoing a rapid transformation, with major advancements being made in the cellular and molecular mechanisms that govern fertility, development, and reproductive health. Recent research has unveiled critical insights into gametogenesis, fertilization, embryo implantation, and early embryonic development. Cutting-edge technologies, including single-cell sequencing, CRISPR-based genome editing, and organoid models, are reshaping our understanding of reproductive processes at an unprecedented level. Additionally, the molecular pathways regulating hormonal signaling, epigenetic modifications, and cellular interactions are revealing novel therapeutic targets for infertility and reproductive disorders. This Special Issue will bring together innovative research that explores these fundamental biological processes, bridging basic science and clinical applications in reproductive medicine.

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. Cells is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly 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 2700 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.
