   There is an observation that donated organs sync to a biological age of the recipient.

      Yeah, this had me thinking. Does transplanting older organs into younger bodies force the body to rejuvenate the transplanted organ to the recipients age.

      Edit: your article say so, neat.

         I vaguely recall that it&#x27;s the blood itself which has a big impact — to the point where blood transplants from younger blood could (temporarily) &quot;rejuvenate&quot; an older metabolism.

               It&#x27;s not complete nonsense. The rejuvenating effects of young blood transfusions have been known for some time.
