This editorial introduces a research topic focused on the molecular mechanisms that regulate reproduction, spanning the entire process from gametogenesis to fertilization. It serves as an introduction to a collection of studies examining the genetic and cellular foundations of reproductive biology without presenting new primary data itself. The text highlights the scope of the featured articles while acknowledging funding support from Portuguese research institutions. The paper does not explicitly discuss endometriosis or adenomyosis; it was included in the corpus via a keyword match in the upstream search index.
