Aims and Scope
The Journal of Reproduction and Development (JRD) is an international, peer-reviewed Open Access publication, and the official journal of the Society for Reproduction and Development. In six issues per year, JRD publishes basic studies of reproductive biology in vertebrates, including gametogenesis, early embryonic development, placenta development, implantation, reproductive endocrine function and reproductive organ development. JRD also welcomes applied and clinical studies that contribute to the control of reproduction in wild, domestic and laboratory animals, and to the development of new technology to address issues in the field of reproduction. Human clinical case reports are not published by the journal.
Chemokines are known to regulate various reproductive functions, such as regulation of corpus luteum (CL) and uterine functions in cows. However, the role of chemokines in pregnancy has not yet been fully elucidated. Sakumoto summarized and reviewed the literature on chemokine (-receptor) expression and its physiological roles in the bovine CL and uterus during pregnancy (Sakumoto R. Role of chemokines in regulating luteal and uterine functions in pregnant cows, pp. 145–151). This review will help understand the mechanisms of chemokine-mediated interactions among the CL, uterus, immune cells, and conceptus during pregnancy in cows.
