The articles in this special issue highlight the diversity and complexity of research into reproductive health, including the need for a better understanding of the fundamental biology of reproduction and for new treatments for a range of reproductive disorders.
Tgfbr1 signaling governs all processes associated with the trunk to tail transition, including the repositioning of neuro-mesodermal progenitors, as well as the remodeling of the lateral plate mesoderm and embryonic endoderm.

Epigenomic and transcriptomic analysis reveals that paternal obesity influences sperm histone H3 lysine 4 tri-methylation enrichment and placenta gene expression, which in turn negatively impact its development and function in a manner that may contribute to metabolic disease in offspring.

The Notch signaling pathway can use its various ligands, receptors, and Fringe proteins to generate diverse intra- and intercellular signaling behaviors.
A new example of niche formation, revealing the mode of niche cell migration, implicates extrinsic sources of positional information, and uncovers the pathway required for stereotypical positioning of the niche.
