Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The advent of high-throughput omics technologies has revolutionized nearly every domain of modern medicine, driving the evolution of precision medicine. In this context, the field of human reproduction—encompassing both assisted reproductive technologies and fetal-maternal medicine—has witnessed substantial advances.
This Special Issue aims to highlight and bring together recent developments in biochemical, genetic, and molecular biology methodologies that are being tested or already integrated into clinical practice in reproductive medicine. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, omics in embryo selection, molecular diagnostics in infertility, non-invasive prenatal testing, epigenetics in reproduction, and emerging biomarkers in maternal-fetal health. We particularly welcome clinical submissions that incorporate biomolecular experiments, fostering the translation of cutting-edge research into improved reproductive healthcare.

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. 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.
