Advances in Molecular Research in Animal Reproduction

Dear Colleagues,

This Special Issue, “Advances in Molecular Research in Animal Reproduction”, focuses on cutting-edge innovative research on molecular mechanisms in the field of animal reproduction. It systematically covers key areas, including the core genetic regulation of spermatogenesis and oogenesis, signaling networks in early embryonic development, molecular mechanisms of reproductive hormone pathways, regulatory mechanisms of epigenetic modifications (DNA methylation, histone modification, and non-coding RNA regulation), and the molecular impacts of environmental factors on reproductive functions.

This Special Issue compiles research findings from multiple species such as livestock, poultry, and model animals, integrates the application of new technologies including single-cell sequencing, gene editing, and bioinformatics analysis, and comprehensively presents the latest breakthroughs in fields like germ cell development, regulation of embryonic implantation, and pathogenic mechanisms of reproductive disorders. The collection serves as a high-level academic exchange platform for researchers worldwide, facilitating both theoretical innovation in animal reproductive biology and the technological transformation and application in areas such as animal husbandry and reproductive medicine.

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.
