Nature aging·July 1, 2026·PMID 42393307
Why it mattersOvarian aging is a central concern in reproductive longevity and overall women's health. This paper identifies a specific molecular target—IL-11—that directly influences the mechanical environment of the ovary, offering a potential therapeutic avenue to delay age-related decline in ovarian function.
