Human reproductive biology is primarily controlled through hormones, which send signals to the human reproductive structures to influence growth and maturation.These hormones are secreted by endocrine glands, and spread to different tissues in the human body.
According to the Journal Citation Reports its 2019 impact factor is 12.684, ranking it first in the categories "Obstetrics and Gynaecology" (out of 79) and "Reproductive Biology" (out of 30). Molecular Human Reproduction focuses on molecular aspects of reproductive biology and is published monthly. [ 2 ]
The European Society of Human Reproduction and Embryology (ESHRE) was founded in 1985 by Robert Edwards (University of Cambridge) and Jean Cohen , who felt that the study and research in the field of reproduction needed to be encouraged and recognized. It is currently headquartered in Belgium.
Developmental biology is the study of the process by which animals and plants grow and develop. Developmental biology also encompasses the biology of regeneration , asexual reproduction , metamorphosis , and the growth and differentiation of stem cells in the adult organism.
This glossary of developmental biology is a list of definitions of terms and concepts commonly used in the study of developmental biology and related disciplines in biology, including embryology and reproductive biology, primarily as they pertain to vertebrate animals and particularly to humans and other mammals.
Reproduction is a monthly peer-reviewed medical journal covering the cellular and molecular biology of reproduction, including the development of gametes and early embryos in all species; developmental processes such as cell differentiation, morphogenesis and related regulatory mechanisms in normal and disease models, assisted reproductive technologies in model systems and in a clinical ...
In genetics and developmental biology, somatic cell nuclear transfer (SCNT) is a laboratory strategy for creating a viable embryo from a body cell and an egg cell. The technique consists of taking a denucleated oocyte (egg cell) and implanting a donor nucleus from a somatic (body) cell. It is used in both therapeutic and reproductive cloning.
The female reproductive system likewise contains two main divisions: the external genitalia (the vulva) and the internal genitalia. The ovum meets with the sperm cell : a sperm may penetrate and merge with the egg, fertilizing it with the help of certain hydrolytic enzymes present in the acrosome.
