Abstract:

:This article has been retracted: please see Elsevier Policy on Article Withdrawal (https://www.elsevier.com/about/our-business/policies/article-withdrawal). This article has been retracted at the request of the Authors. The entire group of investigators contributing to this study requests to withdraw this article. We conducted the study in good faith and according to correct methodology. We believe that our findings have been partly misinterpreted, but at the same time realize that the article may have caused distress to some people. Women's respect is a priority for us and we are extremely sorry for the discontent the publication originated.

  • Extended fertility and longevity: the genetic and epigenetic link.

    abstract::Many women now choose to develop their careers before having children. Thus, it is becoming increasingly important to assess a woman's potential for extended fertility and to understand the health consequences of having children at a late age. In particular, there is a striking positive correlation between extended fe...
