Heart disease study probes immune cell 'Recycling' in arteries
NCT ID NCT05708547
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study examined how immune cells change in people with coronary atherosclerosis (hardening of the arteries). Researchers compared blood and heart tissue samples from 61 patients undergoing heart surgery—some with coronary artery disease and some without. The goal was to see if a process called mitophagy (how cells recycle their energy centers) differs between the two groups, which could lead to a simple blood test for immune reprogramming in heart disease.
