Research Performance in Reproductive Biomedicine: A National Scientometrics Study.

Recent achievements in reproductive biomedicine have led to a revolution in infertility treatment. A comprehensive understanding of the current status of reproductive medicine is necessary for the development of a forward-looking plan by health policymakers, based on fundamental requirements. This study is a systematic review of the Scopus database to assess reproductive biomedicine publications within Iran and compared to the rest of the world from 1990 to 2020.

Development of an optimized RT-LAMP test for the detection of SARS-CoV-2.

SARS-COV-2 is the causative agent of an acute respiratory syndrome called Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) with a varying mortality rate from 2019 to 2022. There are several measures for control and prevention of Covid-19 including using mask, vaccine injections, as well as screening the potential cases. We aimed to design and develop a molecular method (RT-LAMP) for detecting coronavirus in biological samples that is cheaper, faster and easier than conventional molecular methods.

Establishment and characterization of a PCOS and a normal human granulosa cell line.

Oocyte maturation is an important phase in fertility and any disorder in this process could lead to infertility. The most common disorder during folliculogenesis is polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). Due to the secretive activity of granulosa cells (GCs), they play a vital role in folliculogenesis.
