NCT ID NCT07367451
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This lab study tests whether a flavonoid extract from propolis (a bee product) can reduce inflammation in human gum stem cells. Researchers will expose the cells to the extract and measure changes in inflammatory markers. The study involves 20 cell samples and is still in the planning stage.
