Description
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.
