Fertility breakthrough: New research could extend egg health with age

Fertility breakthrough: New research could extend egg health with age Researchers have identified a key protein in old, poor-quality C. elegans eggs. When they blocked this protein midway through the fertile window, the equivalent of a woman in her early thirties, they successfully extended egg viability beyond the normal span. Another experiment that knocked out this protein's genes entirely extended the worms' fertility by about 10 percent. If applied to humans, that could represent a 3- to 6-year extension of female fertility. http://ift.tt/eA8V8J
