Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Chemical products are indispensable in modern everyday life. They are a varied and broad group with many different benefits. However, after bioaccumulation in living organisms, they can act as endocrine disruptors and can pose risks to domestic animal or human reproduction.
This Special Issue aims to contribute to novel research on the cellular and molecular mechanisms of endocrine-disrupting chemicals and how they impact reproduction. We encourage the study of currently used chemicals and their metabolites, as well as protection products that are commonly recognized as persistent environmental contaminants and have been banned previously. This can improve their risk assessment, but also potentially aid in finding substances with beneficial effects on reproduction.
Papers may include, but are not limited to, the following topics: the molecular or epigenetic mechanisms behind the toxicity of chemicals; disorders related to the receptivity and further signal transmission of reproductive hormones; in vitro studies; and/or predictive or computational reproductive toxicology approaches.
Authors are invited and welcome to submit original research papers, reviews, short communications, and case reports.
Dr. Michał Hubert Wróbel

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.
