Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Clinical challenges of artificial reproductive technologies are high costs, complex and lengthy treatment protocols, significant psychological effects on patients, higher rates of multiple pregnancies, and potential complications for both the mother and child. Opportunities, however, arise from technological advancements like AI-driven embryo selection, next-generation sequencing for genetic testing, improved cryopreservation, and simpler drug regimens. Therefore, this Special Issue aims to bring together the current medical and psychological knowledge, clinical practice, and research related to artificial human reproduction technologies. Experts are invited to contribute in the form of original studies, review papers, presentations, case–control studies, randomized controlled trials, systematic reviews, and meta-analyses.
