...study, released last week by Dr. Jonathan Tilly of the Vincent Center for Reproductive Biology at Massachusetts General Hospital, involves the discovery of germ stem cells in the ovaries of adult mice...
...existence of stem cells in mice, however, could indicate that menopause, or “mouse-opause,” as Tilly calls it, results not from the death of eggs, but from the gradual death of germ stem cells which produce these eggs...
This process is associated with aging in male mice as well. But, because every male has thousands of germ stem cells, as opposed to a female’s approximately 60, the decrease associated with aging is not sufficient to impair testicular functioning...
Folkman’s anti-angiogenesis studies made the news in 1998 by successfully curing mice of cancer...
