Old Hearts Become Biologically Younger When Transplanted Into Younger People

A bioRxiv preprint led by Harvard Medical School molecular biologist Jesse Poganik reports that transplanted hearts appear to take on the biological age of their new host. Using epigenetic clocks that track DNA methylation, the team found older hearts placed in younger bodies showed signs of becoming biologically younger, while younger hearts in older bodies aged faster. The work, done first in mice and supported by human DNA data, is not yet peer-reviewed. Researchers say it could eventually loosen donor age limits and expand the organ supply.
