Molecular Reproduction and Development is an international journal devoted to the molecular aspects of reproductive and developmental processes in animals, includng human beings. The journal publishes original research articles, highlights, and invited reviews covering the fields of genetics, gamete biology, embryo development, transgenics, cell biology and biochemistry, physiology and endocrinology, and anatomy and ultrastructure. This unified approach achieves a balanced coverage of modern reproductive and developmental biology. Specific topics covered include spermatogenesis, oogenesis, fertilization, stem cells, imprinting, nuclear transfer, micromanipulation, control of gene expression, growth factors, apoptosis, assisted reproductive technologies, cryopreservation, diagnosis of congenital defects, sex determination, and genetic engineering.

READERSHIP
