Ovarian aging has an important role in health and fertility; however, the molecular mechanisms underlying it remain incompletely understood. Here the authors use single-cell and spatial transcriptomics in reproductively young, middle-aged and older human ovarian tissue to elucidate ovarian aging. They describe spatiotemporal changes in ovarian cells and highlight the important regulatory role of FOXP1.
