Study bone marrow samples from healthy adults every two years
This study collects bone marrow samples to look at healthy “bone marrow cells” and how they may change with aging. It may help researchers better understand aging biology by comparing samples over time.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Be age 18 or older and otherwise generally healthy
- Speak and read English
- Be willing to have a bone marrow aspiration procedure and return to the study site every 2 years
- Agree to donate and let researchers analyze, store, and use your blood/bone marrow samples (including DNA/RNA)
- Have no evidence of infections like HIV, hepatitis B/C, or syphilis on screening blood tests
- You must not have certain major illnesses or conditions (like cancer, autoimmune disease, major heart/lung/kidney/liver disease) and must have safe blood clotting

This study collects white blood cells from healthy volunteers every 56 days to help researchers understand how aging affects the immune system. Your cells will be studied in a lab to learn more about natural aging processes.
This study asks healthy adults to provide blood, bone marrow (if needed), skin, saliva, and stool samples. Scientists use these samples to compare patterns related to myeloid (bone-marrow) blood cancers, which may help future research and tests.
This study collects small samples of blood and cells from the inside of your mouth. Depending on your age, it may also collect bone marrow and skin (for research lab testing). It’s mainly about research planning and analysis rather than treating a disease.
This study follows adults as they age to learn how health and brain function change over time. You may help researchers understand early aging differences, using health checks and scans, and by sharing genetic samples.
This study looks at how your body’s immune system reacts in different tissues by collecting and storing samples for research. You might be able to join if you’re an adult and can consent, and if you don’t have certain bleeding risks that could make sample collection unsafe.
This study collects multiple types of samples (like blood, stool, saliva, and swabs) from healthy people. The goal is to optimize lab tests for future research, which may help doctors and scientists run more accurate immune-related measurements.
