The atlas suggests ovaries are an untapped, rapid way to study human longevity treatments.
Or, more specifically, test them out on aging ovaries, whether in well-controlled human studies, in the ovaries of mice, or in donor tissue samples.
It shows that ovarian aging is a great proxy for overall human aging at a molecular level — ovarian aging is just happening several decades earlier, and very rapidly.
So more and more people are paying attention to this concept of ovarian aging and considering it as a true aging process."
Her study displays in fine cellular and molecular detail how human ovaries age, and how genetics impact the process.
