Synopsis

New techniques in cellular and molecular biology have increased our understanding of the mechanisms controlling reproductive function in the female. Emphasizing these new techniques, Molecular Biology of the Female Reproductive System provides a state-of-the-art review of local regulatory mechanisms that control reproductive processes. Stressing the interface of endocrinology, immunology, and cell biology, this book concentrates on the autocrine, paracrine, and endocrine systems that regulate both the functions of the ovary and uterus and the interaction between the early embryo and the mother.

About this title

From the Back Cover

Our understanding of the control of female reproduction has advanced significantly in the past decade. Thus, the purpose of this book is twofold: First, to show how the techniques of cellular and molecular biology have led to this increase in knowledge and second, to review the autocrine, paracrine, and endocrine systems controlling reproductive processes in the female.
