About this Research Topic
From the complex molecular control of endocrine cell differentiation to the amazing reproductive physiology, developmental processes represent an integral and recurrent theme within the field of endocrinology. Livestock provide excellent models for studying developmental endocrinology at molecular, cellular, organ, and organism level. It will be of interest to address the advances and perspectives in livestock reproductive and developmental endocrinology, which will help to improve livestock production and will benefit human health.
This Research Topic aims to advance our understanding of endocrine, genetic, and epigenetic mechanisms that regulate livestock reproduction and development, specifically, pre-implantation development, implantation, fetal development, and parturition.
This Topic will focus on (I) hormone/growth factors secretion, (II) gene expression and regulation, (III) epigenetic regulation, (IV) multi-omics analysis, (V) environmental toxicity in reproductive and developmental endocrinology. We welcome all scientists studying livestock developmental endocrinology to submit their contribution in order to offer to the scientific community the most updated and in-depth picture of the field at the cellular and molecular level. To allow sharing novel data and to open new perspectives on the topic, we welcome Original Research Papers, Review Articles, Opinions, Methods, Hypotheses & Theories, and General Commentaries.
