Placenta, endothelium, immunity and fertility: key research directions in contemporary obstetrics and gynecology

Abstract
The editorial article is devoted to the key scientific and clinical directions presented in the journal’s second issue for 2026. The articles in this issue are focused on the analysis of pathogenetic mechanisms that determine the course of pregnancy, the development of obstetric and gynecological diseases, reproductive prognosis, and long-term clinical outcomes. Particular importance is given to studies addressing preeclampsia, placental and endothelial dysfunction, immune regulation, complement system abnormalities, venous thromboembolism, fertility preservation, estrogen-dependent proliferative diseases, and endocrine disorders during pregnancy. The materials of this issue reflect the current trend toward an integrative analysis of pathogenesis, in which obstetrics and gynecology are considered in close connection with immunology, endocrinology, angiology, gynecologic oncology, and reproductive medicine. This approach emphasizes the importance of early diagnosis, personalized treatment strategies, assessment of long-term disease consequences, and preservation of patients’ quality of life.
