Leftover surgery tissue could unlock secrets of hardening arteries and bones
NCT ID NCT04753593
First seen Jun 17, 2026
Summary
This study uses leftover tissue from heart and orthopedic surgeries to learn more about how calcification (hardening) happens in bones and blood vessels. Researchers will grow cells from these tissues in the lab to study the process. The goal is to better understand the disease, not to test a new treatment.
