One study in rodents estimated the age of all the animals&#8217; liver cells to be between 200 and 400 days, no matter the age of the animal itself. However, as ever, this sort of study is not a very good guide to how the bodies of humans work. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But now <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cell.com\/cell-systems\/fulltext\/S2405-4712(22)00171-5\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">a new study published in the journal <em>Cell Systems<\/em><\/a>, in May this year, has shown that age does not slow down the liver\u2019s regeneration. Instead, the self-repairing abilities stays consistent throughout a person&#8217;s lifetime. This means that, whether you\u2019re 15 or 90 years old, your liver is usually around three years old, having completely recreated itself a number of times.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Lead researcher, Dr Olaf Bergman, of the Center for Regenerative Therapies in Dresden, explained that \u201cwhile some studies pointed to the possibility that liver cells are long-lived, [\u2026] others showed a constant turnover. It was clear to us that if we want to know what happens in humans, we need to find a way to directly assess the age of human liver cells.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>During the study, Bergmann and his team of researchers used a technique called retrospective radiocarbon birth dating to determine the age of livers in a number of people who had died between the ages of 20 and 84. In each of them, liver cells were consistently aged around the 3-year mark, no matter the age of the person.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The study did find that a small percentage of cells can live up to 10 years before renewing themselves. Dr Bergman suggested that this could potentially be a protective feature. When cells replicate rapidly&#8211;as they do in a fast-spreading bacterium or virus, for example&#8211;there is a significantly increased risk of mutation due to &#8220;spelling errors&#8221; possibly being introduced in the cell&#8217;s genetic code each time it is copied and reproduced. The long-lived liver cells seem to be those which carry more DNA information, and so this slower rate of change could prevent harmful mutations leading to problems like cancer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The study can be <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cell.com\/cell-systems\/fulltext\/S2405-4712(22)00171-5\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">read here<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Of all the body&#8217;s organs, the liver has the greatest power to regenerate itself.
