Abstract
Ovarian aging is a key factor influencing female fertility and overall health. RNA-binding proteins (RBPs) regulate mRNA stability and translation, playing a significant role in maintaining ovarian function. This review discusses RBPs' involvement in oocyte development, folliculogenesis, and ovarian homeostasis. Additionally, we explore their roles in ovarian aging-related diseases and potential strategies for mitigating ovarian decline by targeting RBP activity. This review highlights RBPs' molecular mechanisms and potential applications for understanding and treating ovarian aging.
期刊介绍:
Life Sciences is an international journal publishing articles that emphasize the molecular, cellular, and functional basis of therapy. The journal emphasizes the understanding of mechanism that is relevant to all aspects of human disease and translation to patients. All articles are rigorously reviewed.
The Journal favors publication of full-length papers where modern scientific technologies are used to explain molecular, cellular and physiological mechanisms. Articles that merely report observations are rarely accepted. Recommendations from the Declaration of Helsinki or NIH guidelines for care and use of laboratory animals must be adhered to. Articles should be written at a level accessible to readers who are non-specialists in the topic of the article themselves, but who are interested in the research. The Journal welcomes reviews on topics of wide interest to investigators in the life sciences. We particularly encourage submission of brief, focused reviews containing high-quality artwork and require the use of mechanistic summary diagrams.
