Recent Advances in Reproductive Technologies

Call for Papers

Reproductive technology encompasses all current and anticipated uses of technology in human and animal reproduction, including assisted reproductive technology, prognostics, contraception and others.

Assisted reproductive technology include: artificial insemination, artificial reproduction, cloning (see human cloning for the special case of human beings), cryopreservation of sperm, oocytes, embryos, embryo transfer, fertility medication, hormone treatment, in vitro fertilization ,preimplantation genetic diagnosis.

Prognostics means giving an individual prognosis about future chances of pregnancy, facilitating an informed choice of family planning. In women, such methods include mapping of a woman's ovarian reserve, follicular dynamics and associated biomarkers. In males, it includes semen analysis.

Contraception is a form of reproductive technology that enables people to control their fertility.

Other Reproductive Technologies contains artificial wombs, germinal choice technology, in vitro parthenogenesis, reprogenetics. They are not routinely used and most of them are even at the developmental stage.

In this special issue, we intend to invite front-line researchers and authors to submit original research and review articles on exploring Reproductive Technologies.

Authors should read over the journal’s Authors’ Guidelines carefully before submission, Prospective authors should submit an electronic copy of their complete manuscript through the journal Paper Submission System.

Please kindly notice that the“Special Issue’’ under your manuscript title is supposed to be specified and the research field “Special issue - Reproductive Technologies ” should be chosen during your submission.

According to the following timetable:
