Reproductive biology has seen substantial progress with the advancements in understanding embryo-maternal communication. This essential process, pivotal for successful embryonic development and the continuation of pregnancy, involves a sophisticated network of biomolecules and extracellular vesicles. Although there has been considerable advancement, we still lack comprehensive knowledge about the intricate mechanisms driving these critical communications. This gap impedes deeper insights into reproductive biology, constrains the effectiveness of assisted reproductive technologies across various species, and limits conservation efforts for endangered wildlife.
This Research Topic aims to illuminate the intricate mechanisms fostering communication between the embryo and its mother. It seeks to dissect the roles played by biomolecules and extracellular vesicles, probe into the immune modifications within the female reproductive system triggered by the embryo, and delve into the dynamics of how embryos communicate among themselves in the cases of multiparous pregnancies.
This research topic is delineated by its emphasis on unraveling the complexities of embryo-maternal interactions across different species. To expand our understanding, contributions are solicited on, but not limited to, the ensuing aspects:
Biomolecules involved in embryo-maternal interactions
Roles of extracellular vesicles in such communications
Various facets of embryo-maternal dialogue mechanisms
Immune modulation in the female genital tract due to embryonic signals
Communication pathways among embryos in multiparous contexts
Comparative analysis of embryo-maternal communication across species
This focus aims to embrace a comprehensive collection of scientific narratives, ranging from empirical studies to reviews, encapsulating a wide spectrum of domestic, laboratory, and wild species.
Keywords:
Reproductive Biology, Embryo-Maternal Communication, Biomolecules, Extracellular Vesicles, Assisted Reproductive Technologies (ART), Immune Modulation, Female Genital Tract, Multiparous Pregnancies, Inter-Species Communication, Wildlife Conservation
Important Note:
All contributions to this Research Topic must be within the scope of the section and journal to which they are submitted, as defined in their mission statements. Frontiers reserves the right to guide an out-of-scope manuscript to a more suitable section or journal at any stage of peer review.
