Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Over the last 30 years, reproductive medicine has witnessed extraordinary scientific advances for infertility treatments, from in vitro fertilization (IVF) and successful embryo implantations to cryopreservation of gametes and embryos as well as ovary tissue cryopreservation for young cancer patients. Further advances are expected, since maintaining the reproductive health of individuals is nowadays of increased prominence, because many factors in industrialized countries seem to have resulted in an augmented incidence of infertility also among the young population. Meanwhile, research in reproductive medicine is becoming a multidisciplinary field, combining molecular biology techniques with new advanced approaches aimed at investigating the cause of reproductive failure and related diseases, or exploring the development of new diagnostics or therapeutics as well as exceptional challenges like the artificial ovary.
This issue invites research that aims at unravelling the molecular mechanisms underlying female and male human reproduction in addition to the use of unconventional and novel technical approaches that will help to preserve, promote, or restore healthy reproductive function.
We are most interested in technical methods dealing with X-ray techniques, vibrational spectroscopy, molecular imaging, omic technologies, AFM, and other advanced microscopies, as well as avantgarde therapeutic and diagnostic approaches like nanomedicine and nanotechnology, photobiomodulation therapy, microfluidics, and lab-on-chip.

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.
