Donor hearts may age to match recipients' bodies
Original: Donor hearts may take on the age of their new bodies https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/donor-hearts-may-take-on
New research suggests donor hearts may take on the biological age of their recipients after transplantation, rather than retaining the age of the original donor. Reported by Scientific American, the finding could reshape how doctors think about organ aging, rejection risk and long-term outcomes for transplant patients.
Why now: The surprising finding that transplanted hearts adapt to the recipient's biological age challenges assumptions about organ aging and has implications for transplant medicine.
