Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Female reproductive biology is a dynamic and profoundly intricate field, central to human health and societal well-being. The past decade has witnessed an explosion of discoveries, driven by the convergence of advanced molecular techniques and innovative technological platforms. These breakthroughs are rapidly unraveling the cellular and molecular underpinnings of processes ranging from gametogenesis and fertilization to implantation and pregnancy, as well as the complex mechanisms governing reproductive aging and associated pathologies.
This Special Issue, entitled "Cellular and Molecular Insights into Female Reproductive Biology," extends a warm invitation to researchers and scientists to contribute their latest findings. We seek original research articles and comprehensive reviews that delve into the molecular and cellular mechanisms regulating female reproductive function. We are particularly interested in submissions that highlight cutting-edge methodologies such as microfluidic systems for modeling reproductive organs, the development and application of 3D organoids to study reproductive tissues, and advanced single-cell analyses. Furthermore, we encourage research exploring the multifaceted role of stem cells in ovarian function, uterine regeneration, and fertility preservation; novel insights into the uterus as a dynamic endocrine gland; and the cellular and molecular etiology of infertility and other reproductive disorders. By fostering a collection that spans these critical areas, this Special Issue aims to provide a comprehensive platform for disseminating pioneering research, stimulating interdisciplinary collaborations, and ultimately accelerating the translation of fundamental discoveries into improved diagnostic strategies and therapeutic interventions for female reproductive health.
We look forward to receiving your contributions.
Dr. Mohamed Ali
Guest Editor
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. Cells is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2700 CHF (Swiss Francs). 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.
