Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
In mammalian reproduction, pubertal maturation and gamete production, various hormones are secreted from the anterior pituitary gland, such as the follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) and luteinizing hormone (LH), prolactin, growth hormone (GH), adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) and thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) A series of events are involved in regulatory control. These processes involve differential gene expression and cell–cell interactions that are regulated by key endocrine stimuli, thereby affecting the proliferation, maturation and function of Sertoli cells, which produce regulatory signals and nutrients to maintain develo** germ cells.
This Special Issue in Current Issues in Molecular Biology, entitled "Hormonal Regulation in Germ Cell Development", aims to elucidate the molecular mechanisms involved in the regulation of these hormones in germ cell development and welcomes submissions of reviews, opinions, research articles and so on.

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at mdpi.longhoe.net by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Current Issues in Molecular Biology is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2200 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
