Scientists probe 'Zombie Cells' to unlock fibroid secrets

NCT ID NCT06135870

Summary

This study aims to understand how specific 'senescent' or aging cells contribute to the growth of uterine fibroids. Researchers will analyze tissue samples from 150 women with fibroids to map how these cells communicate and promote scarring. The goal is to gather knowledge that could lead to future treatments, but this study itself does not test a new therapy.
