Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Infertility is a major public health problem that has become increasingly important in recent years, with the World Health Organization estimating that it affects one in six couples. In 50% of cases, a male factor is the cause of this condition; however, even today, it is not possible to identify the cause in approximately half of cases, falling under the definition of idiopathic infertility. This Special Issue aims to analyze the main issues involved in the field of male reproduction that still require careful evaluation by the scientific community. New research insights into this topic and the identification of possible future directions of study are needed to improve current understanding on the relevant pathogenesis and therapeutic management of this topic.
