FOXP1 is a gatekeeper of cellular senescence with ovarian aging

Our analysis of the spatiotemporal transcriptional features of human ovarian aging at the single-cell level identified the DNA damage response as a fundamental attribute in oocyte senescence. FOXP1, a gatekeeper both in granulosa and in theca and stroma cellular senescence, can be activated by quercetin treatment to delay ovarian aging.
