Summary
Reproductive health is a state of the individual reproductive system, reproductive process and reproductive ability in each stage of life. Disease, pathological changes, gene expression, gene mutation, environment, stress and others can affect reproductive health, and even lead to infertility or sterility, abnormal embryonic development and birth defects. Study on these influencing factors can help to improve people's fertility, reproductive system function as well as the health of offspring, and further to explore the initiation and differentiation of life.
This current special issue focuses on a wide range of topics related to reproductive healthy and embryonic development. We invite researchers in this field to submit your original article, reports and reviews in this special issue. Potential topics include but are not limited to the followings:
• Pathogenesis of reproductive and related disease
• Influencing factors of reproductive health and ability
• Assisted reproduction
• Gametogenesis
• Cellular and molecular profiling of early embryonic development
• Fetal developmental abnormalities and prenatal diagnosis
