- Short description:
- Subfertility is a major health issue worldwide, and one that is growing because of an increasing number of subfertile couples, various causes of decreased fertility, and poorly understood mechanisms. In The Lancet, three Series papers on fertility preservation1–3discuss the effects of physiological and pathological factors on human fertility, and collectively show that fertility preservation is a potential strategy to combat this predicament.
