Molecular Human Reproduction

Scope

MHR publishes papers addressing the physiological, cellular, endocrinological, molecular, genetic or epigenetic aspects of reproductive science. This includes, but is not limited to, embryo development; fertilization; gametogenesis; gonad function implantation; pregnancy; and reproductive tract physiology. We publish original research articles, reviews and correspondence. Original research articles must show how they advance the field, with novelty and scientific rigor being the two most important criteria for publication. Advances should increase biological understanding or have diagnostic or therapeutic potential. We encourage research articles using animal models in addition to human studies. Interdisciplinary approaches are particularly welcome. We favour mechanistic papers that test a hypothesis. Clinical studies will be considered but observational clinical studies are more appropriate for submission to Human Reproduction.
