Abstract

Reproductive health is crucial for individual well-being, societal advancement, and the health of future generations, encompassing biological, medical, and psychosocial dimensions. However, research in reproductive health in Germany has remained limited, with significant gaps that demand attention. To address these gaps, there is an urgent need for focused research, particularly among emerging scientists in academic medical institutions. In response to this need, the Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF) established five interdisciplinary centers dedicated to reproductive health in late 2023, following the ISIR 2023 conference. These centers include SRHOO at UKE, which explores the intersection of obesity and reproductive health; LE-REP, studying the long-term effects of fertility treatments; CEPRE, supporting healthy pregnancies through clinical and research collaboration; ReproTrack.MS, investigating male infertility at the molecular level; and FePro-Ulm, advancing fertility preservation techniques. This special issue showcases research from these centers, providing valuable insights into innovative treatments and the influence of lifestyle on reproductive health. The initiative also seeks to inspire young scientists to pursue careers in reproductive medicine and promote international collaboration aimed at improving maternal and child health worldwide.

2023年ISIR会议作为生殖科学中心（CERES）的推动力：推动德国生殖健康研究的发展

生殖健康对个人福祉、社会进步和子孙后代的健康至关重要，包括生物、医学和社会心理层面。然而，德国在生殖健康方面的研究仍然有限，存在需要注意的重大差距。为了解决这些差距，迫切需要进行重点研究，特别是在学术医疗机构的新兴科学家中。为了满足这一需求，联邦教育和研究部（BMBF）在2023年ISIR会议之后，于2023年底建立了五个专门研究生殖健康的跨学科中心。这些中心包括英国大学的SRHOO，该中心探索肥胖与生殖健康的交叉；LE-REP，研究生育治疗的长期影响；通过临床和研究合作，支持健康怀孕；ReproTrack。MS，从分子水平研究男性不育症；和FePro-Ulm，推进生育保存技术。本期特刊展示了这些中心的研究成果，为创新治疗方法和生活方式对生殖健康的影响提供了宝贵的见解。该倡议还寻求激励年轻科学家从事生殖医学事业，并促进旨在改善全世界孕产妇和儿童健康的国际合作。
