Do Transplanted Hearts Take On Their Recipient's Age?

Nautilus explores whether donor hearts, after transplantation, biologically adapt to the age of their new host rather than retaining the age of the original donor. The piece examines emerging research into how transplanted organs age, raising questions about cellular rejuvenation and what it could mean for transplant medicine and long-term outcomes for recipients.
Why now: New science writing on organ aging is drawing attention for its surprising implications about transplanted hearts adapting to recipients' bodies.
