Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Most ovarian disorders are benign, with the majority being functional ovarian cysts and benign neoplasms, including endometriosis and polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS). Although these are very frequent findings in general gynecology, there is an insufficient amount of evidence about molecular pathophysiology and subsequent therapeutic advances.
This Special Issue aims to focus on basic and translational research, as well as molecular and hormonal evidence of the pathophysiology of various ovarian disorders that are related to fertility and/or metabolic/endocrine conditions. Original research articles as well as narrative and systematic reviews, including perspectives, are encouraged to improve our overall knowledge about the molecular basis of and therapeutic advances in ovarian disorders.
