Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Although the ovary has always been considered the commanding officer of reproductive physiology through the regulation of numerous hormones, one should not forget the major contribution of the uterus, the bearer of life. Throughout the estrous cycle and gestation, the uterus can adapt to numerous signals and undergo morphologic changes in an intricate and timed manner. Yet, many alterations or diseases affecting the uterus can have substantial impacts on the reproductive efficiency of humans and animals. Through this Special Issue, we wish to highlight and renew the importance of the uterus by understanding the numerous signaling pathways and factors that can influence uterine physiology and its response to diseases. We therefore invite you to submit your original manuscripts that study the uterus in any species and cover a large range of subjects, including normal uterine physiology, the mechanisms of uterine adaptation to hormones and gestation, pathogenesis of different uterine diseases, novel therapeutic avenues for uterine diseases, the use of animal models for human uterine diseases, etc.
Dr. Guillaume St-Jean
Guest Editor
