Age-dependent dysregulated post-ovulatory debris clearance promotes ovarian fibroinflammation

Aubrey Converse, Madeline J. Perry, Shweta S. Dipali, Prianka H. Hashim, Jennifer L. Gerton, Michele T. Pritchard, Francesca E. Duncan

This study shows that impaired post-ovulatory debris clearance in aged ovaries leads to persistent corpus luteum accumulation and fibroinflammation.

Self-organizing ovarian somatic organoids preserve cellular heterogeneity and reveal cellular contributions to ovarian aging

Shweta S. Dipali, Madison Q. Gowett, Pratik Kamat, Aubrey Converse, Emily J. Zaniker, Abigail Fennell, Teresa Chou, Michele T. Pritchard, Mary B. Zelinski, Jude M. Phillip, Francesca E. Duncan

This study develops ovarian somatic organoids that maintain cellular diversity and reveal age-related changes in cellular composition and function.

Multinucleated giant cells are hallmarks of ovarian aging with unique immune and degradation-associated molecular signatures

Aubrey Converse, Madeline J. Perry, Shweta S. Dipali, José V.V. Isola, Emmett B Kelly, Joseph M. Varberg, Mary B. Zelinski, Jennifer L. Gerton, Michael B. Stout, Michele T. Pritchard, Francesca E. Duncan

This study identifies multinucleated giant cells (MNGCs) in aging ovaries, showing their unique immune and degradation-related molecular signatures through transcriptomic and imaging analyses.
