Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
In the last decade, significant advancements have been made in the field of prenatal diagnosis and fetal therapy, with a focus on the early detection of genetic disorders, congenital anomalies, and fetal health conditions. These developments have led to improved outcomes for both mothers and their babies. The increasing use of non-invasive prenatal testing, advancements in imaging techniques, and the growing application of fetal therapy are transforming clinical practice. This Special Issue aims to showcase the latest clinical research, innovations, and therapeutic strategies that are shaping the future of prenatal care. It will highlight emerging technologies, diagnostic tools, and novel interventions that provide hope for better outcomes in high-risk pregnancies.
The topics of interest for publication in this Special Issue include, but are not limited to, non-invasive prenatal testing, fetal imaging technologies, genetic screening, in utero treatments, stem cell therapies, and advances in fetal surgery.
Dr. Mar Bennasar
