Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
We are pleased to introduce the Special Issue “Progress in Molecular Research of Reproductive Biology and Related Diseases.” Rapid advances in molecular biology have greatly expanded our understanding of the mechanisms governing reproductive function, fertility, and the pathogenesis of reproductive disorders. Elucidating these mechanisms at the cellular and molecular levels is essential for developing innovative diagnostic, preventive, and therapeutic strategies in reproductive medicine.
This Special Issue aims to highlight cutting-edge research that deepens our molecular insight into both normal and pathological reproductive processes. We welcome studies that investigate gene expression, signaling pathways, epigenetic regulation, hormonal cross-talk, cellular interactions, and molecular responses within reproductive tissues across developmental stages. Submissions may focus on female or male reproduction, including ovarian, uterine, placental, testicular, and embryonic biology; gametogenesis; fertilization; embryo–maternal communication; and molecular bases of reproductive diseases. Importantly, contributions must present results at the molecular level. Both original research articles (in vitro and in vivo) and comprehensive reviews are welcome.
We look forward to receiving your valuable contributions.
Dr. Anna Nynca
Guest Editor
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 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.
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. International Journal of Molecular Sciences is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. There is an Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal. For details about the APC please see here. 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.
