Old Hearts Grow Biologically Younger in Younger Recipients
Original: Old Hearts Become Biologically Younger When Transplanted Into Younger People
New research indicates that older donor hearts become biologically younger after being transplanted into younger patients, suggesting the ageing process in heart tissue is influenced by the recipient's body. Scientists say the finding could reshape understanding of organ ageing and improve how donor hearts are matched and used in transplantation.
Why now: A surprising study finding challenges assumptions that organ ageing is fixed, sparking interest in transplant science and longevity research.
