Official title
Procurement of Normal Bone, Dermis, Spleen, Thymus and Adipose Tissue for Establishment of Cell Cultures and Tissue Analyses
Brief summary
Reproduced verbatim from the official ClinicalTrials.gov record. Not medical advice.
This study will determine if bone marrow stromal cells can be used as a graft for regeneration of bony defects. These cells have the ability to form new bone and to support the formation of blood. Stromal cells have been identified in other tissues, such as the dermis (underside of skin), spleen, thymus and fat, but it is not known whether these cells can make bone and support blood formation as well as bone marrow stromal cells. Patients undergoing surgery at Suburban Hospital in Bethesda, Maryland, in which some of the bone, dermis, spleen, thymus or fat tissue is removed may be eligible for this study. For this study, a small piece of the tissue that is removed during surgery for examination by a pathologist will be used for research. Stromal cells from the specimen will be collected and grown in the laboratory. The genes and proteins in the different cell types will be compared, and the ability of stromal cells from the different tissues to make bone and to support the formation of blood will be studied.
