Reproductive Medicine & Clinical Reproductive Sciences

Section edited by Matteo Alessandro Avella

© Sebastian Kaulitzki / stock.adobe.comReproductive medicine is a fast-moving field whose ultimate goal is to provide people with better reproductive choices. This section aims to provide a platform for new research focusing on the basic mechanisms or the translational and clinical aspects of human reproductive biology.

The section encourages submissions of preclinical and clinical studies whose results have the potential to prevent, diagnose, and treat reproductive issues, as well as studies that describe and characterize the genes and the mechanisms regulating human reproductive biology in cell line or animal models. The section also welcomes reviews on existing and novel technologies, and commentaries on scientific breakthroughs in the field.
