Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The molecular basis of gynecological disorders and associated infertility and subfertility has gained significant momentum in recent years, to comprehend the intricacies among the plausible cellular and molecular mechanisms underlying these conditions. The current consensus amongst specialists in the field dictates that a wide array of female reproductive health issues can be referenced under the term “gynecological disorders”, included and not limited to, hormonal menstrual distrubances and disease entities such as endometriosis, polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), cervical cancer, ovarian cancer, and various types of uterine and vaginal pathologies. These conditions not only affect the female reproductive performance but also have broader implications for overall health and well-being.
The ripple effects and significant global impact of infertility and subfertility-associated female reproductive health disorders, which are often direct outcomes of such gynecological anomalies, represent a substantial public health concern worldwide. Notably, these gynecological disorders are reportedly being influenced by a multitude of interchangeable factors embodying an interplay amongst epigenetic, genetic, hormonal, immunological, and environmental elements. Therefore, it is imperative to understand the cellular and molecular mechanisms underlying these processes, which could prove vital for developing effective diagnostic tools and targeted therapeutic interventions for those in need thereof.
We encourage you to contribute to this Special Issue of Cells by submitting a research article or a review dedicated to gynecological disorders and associated infertility and subfertility.
