Old Hearts Grow Biologically Younger in Younger Recipients
Original: Old Hearts Become Biologically Younger When Transplanted Into Younger People
Researchers report that older donor hearts become biologically younger after being transplanted into younger patients, suggesting the heart's ageing is influenced by the recipient's internal environment rather than being fixed. If confirmed, the finding could reshape thinking on organ ageing, transplantation and regenerative medicine.
Why now: The finding challenges assumptions that organ ageing is irreversible, with big implications for transplants and ageing research.
