Scientists recycle surgery waste to uncover bone calcification secrets
NCT ID NCT04753593
First seen Jun 17, 2026 · Last updated Jun 19, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study uses leftover human tissue from heart and orthopedic surgeries to grow bone cells in the lab. Researchers want to better understand how calcification happens in blood vessels and bones. The goal is to learn more about these processes, not to test a new treatment. About 200 adults having surgery at a French hospital will donate their discarded tissue.
