Exposure to a younger system can induce organismal rejuvenation, yet whether all tissues can be rejuvenated and by what mechanisms remains understudied. We performed heterochronic and isochronic transplantation of subcutaneous white adipose tissue (WAT) between young and old mice and longitudinally tracked changes in biological age. Transplantation accelerated tissue aging, and the molecular age of grafts shifted toward that of the host. Most importantly, old WAT was rejuvenated in a young body. Epigenetic and transcriptomic clocks revealed a reduction of predicted age, accompanied by coordinated activation of canonical and previously unrecognized thermogenic pathways. Molecular rejuvenation was further supported by architectural changes toward a youthful state, including reduced lipid droplet size and decreased cellular heterogeneity. Mitochondrial abundance and morphology remained unchanged, while collagen deposition increased. These results demonstrate that WAT biological age is partially reversible and identify molecular and cellular features underlying its rejuvenation

"Similar papers" are the closest papers from that journal in the model's embedding space. They show what the match is built on, but the ranking comes mostly from a classifier over the whole training set, not from these examples alone.
