The 25th International Congress on Reproductive Biomedicine and the 20th International Congress on Stem Cell Biologyand Technology, held in Iran, brought together leading global experts to discuss pioneering advances in stem cellresearch and reproductive medicine. Key topics included recent progress in somatic and pluripotent stem cells towardclinical applications, developments in regenerative medicine for diverse diseases, innovations in tissue engineering, theintegration of artificial intelligence (AI) in biology research, and novel strategies for treating infertility. The congressesfostered collaboration and knowledge exchange across these rapidly evolving fields, highlighting the transformativepotential of stem cells in regenerative medicine and their applications in reproductive health. Participation of 33scientists from the United States, the United Kingdom, Germany, Austria, Italy, Belgium, Turkey, China, Russia, Japan,Sweden, Switzerland, Qatar, and India facilitated a rich exchange of ideas and broadened international perspectives.The insights and outcomes from these congresses are expected to shape ongoing research initiatives and clinicalpractices worldwide, emphasizing the importance of continued investment in these critical areas of medicine.
