Livers have the potential to function for more than 100 years | Research | ACS

There is a small, but growing, subset of livers that have been transplanted and have a cumulative age of more than 100 years, according to researchers from University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center, Dallas, and TransMedics, Andover, Massachusetts. Their findings could help determine why these organs are so resilient, paving the way for considering the potential expanded use of older liver donors.
