Study tiny gene signals to calm inflammation with aging
Part of Immune system & allergy clinical trials.
This trial studies tiny gene-like signals (microRNAs) to understand and reduce long-term inflammation as people get older. It may help researchers learn how aging affects inflammation and could guide future treatments.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You’re in the age range of 18–35 or 65 and older
- Your body mass index (BMI) is under 30
- You can understand and sign informed consent
- If you’re 65+: you’re not very frail (Frailty score under 3) and you’re able to do simple thinking/memory tasks (Mini-Cog score above 3)
- You live independently and can move around (ambulatory)

This study looks at how physical activity affects inflammation and cell stress in older adults. If you are 70 to 90, relatively healthy, and not frail, you may be able to join by having a blood test as part of your regular checkup.
This study examines how tiny structures inside our cells called mitochondria may contribute to aging and inflammation. Researchers will take small tissue samples to understand this better, which could lead to new treatments for age-related diseases.
This trial looks at how your body's daily habits and subtle inflammation may affect your risk for heart disease and related conditions. You'll use a mobile app to log your food intake and help researchers understand individual factors that influence low-grade inflammation.
This study tests whether a specific type of strength training reduces inflammation in the body for adults aged 60–75. Researchers will measure how your body responds to this training over time.
This study tests whether omega-3 fatty acids can reduce inflammation and improve immune function in older adults with blockages in blood vessels. If you qualify, you may take a daily pill for several months to see if it helps your body's defenses work better.
This trial tests whether a daily apple extract (AppleX™) can reduce inflammation and promote healthy aging in adults aged 45–70. You would take the supplement at home and provide a few finger-prick blood samples over 24 weeks.
