📍 Where it landed
A US study suggested that ovaries may take on a second role or career shift, potentially involving an immune function, after menopause. Other reports noted that age-related changes reshape the ovary before reproductive cycles cease.

Where it stands
Recent reports indicate that the ovaries undergo reshaping due to aging well before reproductive functions cease. There is emerging evidence suggesting that these organs may develop a secondary role related to immunity after menopause.
Coverage from ScienceAlert and India Today emphasizes this potential shift in function, while Medical Xpress focuses on how aging alters the ovary. Research into slowing ovarian aging has also received an ERC Advanced Grant, as noted by Universiteit Leiden.
Future developments will likely center on the findings of the ERC-funded research regarding the slowing of ovarian aging and further investigation into the specific nature of the post-menopausal immunity role.
