Scientists grow diaphragm cells to battle fatal muscle diseases
NCT ID NCT07380308
First seen Feb 02, 2026 · Last updated Jun 19, 2026 · Updated 19 times
Summary
This study aims to create a new lab model of human diaphragm muscle cells using tissue from women undergoing surgery for diaphragmatic endometriosis. Researchers will compare these cells to arm muscle cells to understand what makes the diaphragm unique. The goal is to provide a tool for studying diseases like ALS that cause respiratory failure, potentially opening doors to future treatments. Only 10 participants are needed, and no new drugs or procedures are being tested.

What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
What this could lead to
If successful, this could provide a new lab tool to study diaphragm muscle wasting in diseases like ALS, potentially pointing toward future therapies.
What could go wrong
This is a very early, small study (10 people) focused on basic research, not a treatment trial. It may not lead to any direct medical benefit.
