Feature Papers in Reproductive Medicine 2024

Dear Colleagues,

Since Reproductive Medicine is an international, open access journal on obstetrics, gynecology, and reproductive biology, this collection should include review articles as well as original articles covering the whole field. This includes but is not limited to the biology of the maternal–fetal interplay and its (pathological) variations, especially with regard to the human placenta and comparative placentology in animals. This also includes major pregnancy syndromes such as fetal growth restriction, pre-eclampsia, gestational diabetes mellitus, recurrent pregnancy loss, among others. These things considered, readers should find articles on all reproductive organs and their diseases, and they should be able to read articles about infertility and assisted reproductive technologies and fertility. Epidemiological studies and studies on reproductive endocrinology and immunology should be included as well. Finally, the molecular and cellular mechanisms of reproduction should be included too, as well as their genetics, respective testing, and genetic diagnosis.

We hope to initiate a topical collection of featured articles that highlight the importance of the field and the journal and that will attract many readers as well.

Prof. Dr. Berthold Huppertz
Guest Editor
