The year 2008 marked the 30th anniversary of the clinical success of in vitro fertilization and embryo transfer, a technology that has revolutionized the treatment of infertility. This landmark event came about through the marriage of reproductive biology, endocrinology, and gynecology, in what was at the time a new model of translational science. Today, the field of reproductive endocrinology continues to be broad-based with contributions from the fields of developmental and reproductive biology, neuroscience, genetics and genomics, endocrinology, gynecology, obstetrics, andrology, pediatrics, pathology and laboratory medicine, and diagnostic imaging, among others. The multiple disciplines and their respective perspectives have brought forth what can arguably be considered the greatest medical advance in the past century: the capacity of humans to master the process of reproduction. The 6th edition of Yen and Jaffe’s Reproductive Endocrinology has been expanded to reflect the position of our field as the nexus of basic and clinical research, and as a source of innovation that shapes the scientific foundations of physiology and medicine. The editors thank the chapter authors, both old and new, for delivering the insightful synthesis of their topics. In many instances, advances in research and clinical practice have resulted in substantial changes in scope and direction that necessitated critical appraisal of information offered in the 5th edition. Since the previous edition of this text, we lost Samuel S. C. Yen, one of the founders of contemporary reproductive endocrinology and one half of the brilliant team that birthed this text. As noted in the remembrance, his legacy is profound, and the editors once again acknowledge his transformative influence on the field.
