Ovaries Stay Active Postmenopause
A study has revealed that the ovaries remain biologically active after menopause and continue to remodel themselves for decades, with increasing inflammation and changes in tissue structure. This raises questions about their role in aging and chronic diseases.

The study underscores the importance of developing medications targeted at aging ovaries to reduce the risk of ovarian cancer.
