Inflammation and Reproduction

Inflammation and Reproduction reviews the impact of inflammation on reproductive health and includes the role of genetics and molecular pathways in modulating interactions between these two often conflicting processes. Evidence-based and conventional therapies, as well as alternative therapies (e.g. bioengineered tissues), are summarized. Discussions also include other factors such as microbiota associations and the effects of stress on biological clocks. Topics include the use of bioinformatics in the study of inflammatory reproductive disorders which might employ machine learning models in predicting cervical cancer and other factors contributing to reproductive health or disease.

The following are the featured issues covered in this volume:

• The role of microbiota in modulating inflammation
• Protective and regulatory aspects of antioxidants on reproductive function
• Impacts of sleep and stress, as well as lifestyle choices, on inflammatory pathways and reproductive outcomes
• A detailed discussion on inflammatory signaling pathways involved in reproductive cancers
• Computational studies that elucidate the mechanisms linking inflammation and reproductive health
• The current and emerging therapeutic strategies, including treatment options for inflammatory reproductive disorders, advances in stem cell–based therapies, and the application of bioengineered tissues for restoring reproductive function and treating infertility
