A team of Israeli researchers from the Sheba Medical Center has been awarded a $6 million grant from the American Nuttall Foundation to study the aging process in women. The three-year project, named OASIS, will investigate how the ovaries influence the overall aging of the female body. The study will involve 650 women, divided into two age groups: those aged 40-50 experiencing hormonal changes, and those over 60. The research is co-led by Professor Lauren Patrick and Doctor Avigil Goshen. Historically, it was believed that ovaries ceased significant function after menopause. However, recent findings suggest they continue to release substances affecting the brain, heart, and skeletal system. Scientists hypothesize that ovarian changes, particularly the signaling of inflammatory processes post-reproduction, may accelerate aging. The researchers aim to use these findings to improve early detection and prevention of serious diseases.
