Testing nerve-cell growth from donated body cells
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Brain & nervous system, Eyes & vision, Genetic & congenital, Heart & circulation, Hormones & metabolism, Immune system & allergy, Mental health clinical trials.
This trial uses donated body cells or small hair samples from people with neurological diseases (and healthy donors) to try to grow “nerve-like” cells for research. It may help scientists learn how to better study and treat different neurological conditions.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be either a person with a neurological disease scheduled for surgery, or a healthy person scheduled for surgery
- You must be able to donate intact tissue/cells from the body during your scheduled medical procedure
- You may be eligible if you can donate one or a few hairs that can be removed intact
- There are no listed exclusion conditions in the provided criteria

This study uses adult body cells (from participants) to create special lab cells called stem cells for research. It’s mainly about whether cells can be made and studied, not about treating a disease.
This study collects leftover brain or spinal tumor tissue during neurosurgery (or from autopsies) so researchers can test drugs and measure how they work. It may help future treatments by improving drug screening using real patient tissue.
This trial uses donated bodies (cadavers) to practice and improve surgical techniques for the brain and spine, which may help develop safer and more effective surgeries for future patients.
This Phase 1 study tests whether adding a patient’s own nerve support cells to a severely injured nerve is safe and helpful. It’s for people with recent major nerve damage in an arm or leg, with strict safety checks.
This trial studies electrical signals from brain cells in people having surgery to remove a brain or cerebellum tumor. It aims to better understand how these cells work.
This trial tests a new cell therapy called NouvNeu001 for Parkinson's disease. It involves a one-time brain surgery to deliver the treatment, and researchers will check if it's safe and helps with symptoms.
