Could tiny blood particles explain thinking problems in schizophrenia?

NCT ID NCT07139171

First seen Jun 26, 2026 ยท Last updated Jun 26, 2026

Summary

This study looks at tiny particles called exosomes in the blood of people experiencing their first episode of schizophrenia. Researchers want to see if the genetic material inside these particles is linked to problems with thinking and memory. By studying 300 participants, they hope to uncover new clues about why cognitive impairment happens and find potential targets for future treatments.
