Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The ovaries and uterus are part of the female reproductive system. The ovaries produce oocytes and female hormones, and the uterus is the place where a baby grows when a woman is pregnant. Both organs are connected by uterine tubes. Ovary and uterus diseases affect women’s life with significant morbidity and represent significant societal health and financial burden. The etiologies are complex and generally not fully understood. Therefore, better characterization and understanding of the cellular and molecular events driving these disorders are critical to preventing and treating the diseases.
The emerging therapeutic agents targeting aberrant genomes, epigenome, and biological pathways provide significant clinical potential. Therefore, a deep dive into the mechanism underlying the pathogenesis of ovarian and uterine diseases is needed to identify new potential target genes and pathways to enhance our understanding and improve the development of therapeutic agents for reproductive diseases.
This Special Issue aims to provide an overview of the current developments in ovarian and uterine diseases. We welcome submissions of original research and review articles that relate to understanding the genome, epigenome, and pathways in ovarian and uterine disorders. In addition, submissions of topics in the field of basic and translational research, diagnostic, and treatment applications are welcome.

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Biology is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2700 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
