Understanding Aging and Inflammation in Healthy Adults
Part of Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 90 years old
- You have not taken antibiotics, anti-inflammatory drugs (like ibuprofen), or antihistamines in the past 7 days
- You do not have diabetes
- You are not taking blood-thinner medications (anticoagulants)
- You are able to understand the study risks and benefits and provide written consent
- You are healthy enough to have a small tissue biopsy (a minor needle procedure)

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 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 examines how your body naturally resolves inflammation, which is important for heart health and conditions like diabetes. It involves blood draws and tests to understand how inflammation works.
This study collects blood samples to build a biobank and learn how brain health changes with age. Some participants may also do an MRI scan to better understand brain changes and immune response.
This study looks at how inflammation and frailty (weakness and tiredness) affect older adults who are waiting for or being evaluated for a kidney transplant. It aims to understand these factors better to help improve care.
This study looks at how the body changes during menopause, focusing on inflammation and the immune system, to understand healthy aging. By participating, you help researchers learn more about this natural transition.
