Article Abstract
The ovary ages earlier than most other tissues, yet the underlying mechanisms remain elusive. Here a comprehensive analysis of transcriptomic landscapes in different organs in young and middle-aged mice revealed that the ovaries showed earlier expression of age-associated genes, identifying increased NADase CD38 expression and decreased NAD levels in the ovary of middle-aged mice. Bulk and single-cell RNA sequencing revealed that CD38 deletion mitigated ovarian aging, preserving fertility and follicle reserve in aged mice by countering age-related gene expression changes and intercellular communication alterations. Mechanistically, the earlier onset of inflammation induced higher expression levels of CD38 and decreased NAD levels in the ovary, thereby accelerating ovarian aging. Consistently, pharmacological inhibition of CD38 enhanced fertility in middle-aged mice. Our findings revealed the mechanisms underlying the earlier aging of the ovary relative to other organs, providing a potential therapeutic target for ameliorating age-related female infertility.

Population aging is an increasing challenge for cancer control in rapidly aging societies, yet remains inadequately quantified. We aim to project and illustrate the cancer burden attributable to aging in Korea by utilizing age-period-cohort (APC) models and population attributable fraction (PAF) concepts. From population-based cancer data, incidence and mortality of cancers primarily affected by aging (stomach, colorectal, liver, gallbladder, pancreatic, lung, non-Hodgkin lymphoma, esophagus, prostate, ovarian, male bladder cancers, and female leukemia) and breast cancer were extracted.

Ovarian aging significantly contributes to the decline of the female reproductive system, adversely affecting fertility and endocrine homeostasis. To address the challenges posed by reproductive aging, natural products have shown promising preventive and therapeutic effects. Here, we investigated the beneficial effects of natural compound celastrol on ovarian development and aging, together with its underlying mechanisms.

Perimenopause is a transitional phase leading to female reproductive senescence, which can cause vasomotor symptoms and increase the risk of osteoporosis, obesity, and metabolic-related disturbances in middle-aged and older women. Nevertheless, little is known regarding the underlying mechanisms linked to menopausal transition, which could be of great value in designing new interventions addressed to improve the health of both perimenopausal and postmenopausal women. We used an ovarian-intact middle-aged model of rats resembling the characteristics of human perimenopause and applied liquid and gas chromatography quadrupole time-of-flight mass spectrometry approaches for the determination of polar and lipid-related metabolites to identify characteristic circulating signatures across perimenopause.

Aims: Diabetic retinopathy (DR) is one of the major complications of diabetes. In addition to hyperglycemia, various mechanisms contribute to the development of microvascular damage to the retina, which have not been fully elucidated. The aim of this study was to investigate Ovarian tumor domain-containing protein 3 (OTUD3)'s protection against DR by targeting peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor γ (PPARγ)-mediated dysfunction and identifying therapeutic strategies.
