Berries may boost cell talk: new study investigates

NCT ID NCT07381933

First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This study looks at how eating cloudberries and lingonberries affects tiny particles called extracellular vesicles, which cells use to communicate. Sixty healthy adults will eat these berries daily for a week. Researchers will check changes in gut bacteria, immune cells, and blood signals to see if berries improve cell messaging.
