Descoperire surprinzătoare despre transplanturile de inimă: organul pare să-și schimbe vârsta biologică

A study reveals that heart transplants can alter the biological age of the organ, depending on the recipient's age. Hearts from older donors may rejuvenate in younger recipients, while younger hearts may age faster in older bodies. Researchers from Harvard conducted experiments on mice and found that the biological age of transplanted hearts aligns more with the recipient's age. This phenomenon was also observed in human heart transplants, suggesting that the organ adapts to its new biological environment. The findings could impact transplant practices, potentially increasing the use of older donor organs if further research supports these results.
