Question: Shouldn’t the lung Kes donated to Neelix (after his were stolen by the Vidiians) age rapidly like her or would it adjust to his lifespan?

Not a captain c nor a doctor, but I would imagine that tissue would age based on the body that contains it due to whatever chemical processes the body uses to make aging happen.
Did they address anything about Neelix’s body rejecting the tissue from Kes? Or is it just assumed their level of technology overcame that little detail? Or does Neelix just secretly take anti-rejection meds now?
Total assumption. Like O’Brien’s PTSD, it’s never brought up again.
Yeah, they covered jt. IIRC federation medical tech couldn’t do a transplant from any crew member but the Vidiians altered the immunogenicity of… something and to them anyone in the room was compatible for donation.
