Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Medically assisted reproduction (MAR) has progressed greatly since the birth of Louise Brown in 1978. pregnancy rates have increased; obstetric healthcare is safer, and multiple pregnancy and complication rates are significantly reduced; more infants are in good health; and millions of people have been able to have the families they desire. This Special Issue seeks to explore the latest clinical and laboratory advances that have contributed to these improvements alongside the ongoing challenges facing this field of healthcare. Topics of interest include innovations in MAR technologies and advancements in genetic testing. This Special Issue will also cover patient-centered approaches to treatment, the impact of MAR on public health, and future trends in reproductive technologies.
