Researchers have discovered that the human liver never ages beyond just three years old, no matter how old an individual is.
According to new research, the liver is almost always just under three years old. The concept of liver age has been a medical conundrum for decades. Studying animal livers has yet to offer any kind of answer, so scientists with TU Dresden looked at human livers to try to discern more about our body’s filter.An international team of scientists at TU Dresden analyzed the livers of multiple individuals between the age of 20 and 84.
Perhaps one of the most intriguing parts of this study on liver age is how the scientists came to their conclusions. One of the biggest problems surrounding liver age research is that animal models often can’t be applied to humans.
