Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Reproductive issues pertaining to infertility have been often perceived as female-related problems. In fact, one third of infertility cases are solely caused by male reproductive issues. Research on the male reproductive system has not only uncovered the fundamental process of spermatogenesis, but also helps to unravel the causes of male infertility. This Special Issue entitled “Investigating Male Reproductive System through Animal Models” is intended to untangle the contribution of animal models in exploring various functions of the male reproductive system.
This Special Issue will examine the importance of various animal models ranging from primitive multicellular to mammalian models in unraveling testis development, the molecular mechanisms of spermatogenesis, sperm epigenetics and infertilty, as well as the endocrine aspects of the male reproductive system. Manuscripts that report original research and comprehensive reviews will be considered.
