Scientists peek inside bone marrow to decode aging blood mutations
NCT ID NCT05246813
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study collects bone marrow from 24 adults aged 65+ having hip surgery to understand how common aging-related blood cell mutations (called CHIP) change cell metabolism. Researchers will compare gene activity in mutated versus normal stem cells. The goal is to learn more about these mutations, not to treat them.
