Scientists hunt for clues to blood vessel aging in new study
NCT ID NCT07591337
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study is looking at how a protein called SNRK might be linked to aging of blood vessels. Researchers will take blood samples and use ultrasound to check artery stiffness in 180 adults aged 18 to 80. The goal is to find new ways to understand and possibly treat vascular aging, which can lead to heart disease.
