Study finds DNA repair declines with age, limiting fertility

Even worms have a ticking fertility clock. Older worms are less efficient at repairing broken DNA strands while making egg cells—part of a process that’s essential for fertility. A new study from University of Oregon (UO) biologists suggests one possible reason that reproduction slows with age.
