Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue, entitled “Clinical Therapeutic Innovations in Maternal Fetal Medicine”, will focus on gene editing and gene therapy for genetic diseases, stem cell-based therapies, improved prenatal therapies and non-invasive genetic testing for earlier diagnosis, sophisticated applications of artificial intelligence (AI) for risk assessment and image interpretation, and new aprroaches for managing maternal immune-mediated diseases. Telemedicine and AI are also improving care access, while therapies including fetal surgery for conditions such as spina bifida are becoming more sophisticated.
We welcome the submission of high-quality and informative original studies (clinical and experimental) and reviews. We look forward to receiving your contributions!
