Female Infertility and Fertility

Dear Colleagues,

This Special Issue, entitled "Female Infertility and Fertility", is dedicated to exploring the intricate biological, clinical, and environmental factors that shape female reproductive health. Female fertility, encompassing the ability to conceive and carry a pregnancy to term, is influenced by a multitude of physiological and molecular pathways. These include the development and maturation of oocytes, hormonal regulation, implantation processes, and the interplay between genetic, epigenetic, and environmental factors. Conversely, infertility arises when disruptions occur at any point along this delicate continuum.

This Special Issue aims to compile cutting-edge research and comprehensive reviews that deepen our understanding of female fertility and infertility. We welcome contributions spanning fundamental and translational science, including studies in endocrinology, molecular and cell biology, genetics, immunology, and reproductive technologies. By uncovering new insights and synthesizing existing evidence, we aspire to advance knowledge and provide novel perspectives for the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of female infertility.

We look forward to receiving your valuable contributions and sharing this dynamic collection with the scientific community.
