Fecal transplants from old mice boost fertility in younger ones (Scientific American)

Scientific American featured research led by Berenice Benayoun on how fecal transplants from older mice improved ovarian function and fertility in younger mice. “We went into the study expecting the old fecal microbiome would prematurely age the young ovaries,” she said. “So we were very intrigued to see the opposite being true, suggesting that some very interesting biology was happening.” The study was also featured in The Scientist, Yahoo News, MSN, Chosun Biz and others.
