Healthy volunteer study aims to unlock secrets of aging and blood cell stress
NCT ID NCT02789839
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This completed study looked at blood and bone marrow samples from 102 healthy volunteers aged 18 to 85. Researchers measured levels of reactive oxygen species (a type of cell stress) and the activity of antioxidant genes. The goal was to see how age affects these factors, which could help understand blood diseases like leukemia.
