Declining ribosome function limits oocyte longevity
Protein synthesis declines with age across many tissues, but whether this decline actively contributes to physiological aging remains unclear. Oocytes may be particularly vulnerable because they rely on ribosomes synthesized during growth and maintained for prolonged periods without continual replacement. Here we show that declining translational capacity is a causal component of oocyte aging. An…
