Transplanted ovaries adjust to recipient's biological age
Original: Transplanted ovaries adjust to the recipient’s biological age
Researchers report that transplanted ovaries do not simply keep the age of the donor, but adapt to the biological age of the recipient. The finding suggests ovarian tissue responds to signals in the recipient's body, with implications for fertility preservation procedures, where ovarian tissue is removed, frozen and later reimplanted in the same patient, and for understanding how ageing is regulated in reproductive organs.
Why now: The finding challenges assumptions about how transplanted tissue ages and matters for fertility treatment.
