What: Time runs down what’s happening on research and experiments to delay menopause. Stacey Colino details different approaches, including surgically removing pieces of ovaries and freezing them, or taking the immunosuppressant drug rapamycin.

Key line: “Indeed, some people believe (without proof) that delaying menopause could extend women’s lifespans and healthspans. ‘There isn’t evidence that this is a fountain of youth,’ says Dr. Stephanie Faubion, medical director of the Menopause Society and director of the Mayo Clinic Center for Women’s Health. ‘At the end of the day, it would be super cool if we could make the ovary not time-out, but I don’t know how we could do that, and we don’t know what the potential downsides are.’”
