NCT ID NCT02743468
First seen Nov 01, 2025 · Last updated May 15, 2026 · Updated 29 times
Summary
This study looked at how certain genes might change the way lung cells (macrophages) work when exposed to environmental pollutants. Researchers collected blood and lung samples from 20 healthy adults to compare cell function between people with and without specific genetic variations. The goal was to better understand why some people develop lung diseases from pollution.
