Inflammaging is a state of chronic, low grade inflammation associated with biological aging which contributes to age-related diseases. Recently, an age-associated increase in inflammation has been documented in the mammalian ovary, which is accompanied by a shift in the immune cell profile. In this Point of View article, we consider a unique population of macrophage-derived multinucleated giant cells, found in all reproductively old mouse ovaries, as potential markers or functional drivers of inflammation in ovarian aging.
