Researchers at the Royan Institute, Iran’s clinical, research and educational center in reproductive biomedicine, have developed a new method to diagnose empty follicle syndrome (EFS). EFS is a complication of assisted reproductive technology for in vitro fertilization (IVF). Using the new method, patients will not have to go through a repetitive cycle of IVF, or the process of fertilization in a laboratory dish, and transferring the embryo to the uterus, ISNA reports. Iran is among the top 10 countries in the world that produce, culture and freeze human embryonic stem cells.
