"Mathematical Model Predicts Menopause Can Be Delayed Indefinitely"

A mathematical model developed by a University of Utah professor suggests that it may be possible to indefinitely delay the onset of menopause by implanting a woman’s previously harvested ovarian tissue back into her body. The model predicts that under certain circumstances, menopause could be delayed by 40 years or more, potentially extending a woman's fertile lifespan and offering health benefits such as preventing cardiovascular disease, reducing bone density depletion, and curbing obesity. The study, published in the American Journal of Obstetrics & Gynecology, indicates that harvesting ovarian tissue at earlier adult ages and using better transplant techniques could result in significant menopause postponement.
