Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue is focused on the crucial role that non-coding RNAs play in female reproduction.
Non-coding RNAs regulate various processes, ranging from the earliest stages of oocyte development to the establishment and maintenance of pregnancy. Their dysregulation can be associated with both physiological and pathological conditions, comprising reproductive disorders, cancers and infertility.
Their plethora of regulatory functions highlight the importance of understanding their role in reproductive biology and could lead to the development of novel therapeutics, as well as improve reproductive outcomes.
