Like a phoenix rising from the ashes, the human liver possesses a remarkable capacity to regenerate itself—making this vital organ practically ageless.
Exceptional Self-Healing Abilities
As our body’s largest internal organ, the liver possesses a remarkable capacity for self-repair. Even after up to 90 percent removal, it can regrow to full size and resume normal function. Furthermore, transplanted partial livers grow to completion within weeks.The liver is always less than 3 years old on average, regardless of a person’s age, according to a recent German study. Liver cell renewal is unaffected by aging, making the organ perpetually youthful. With proper health, even older people can have young livers.
