Collection and analysis of biological samples related to aging and abdominal delivery.
Biospecimen Core
This study is looking for people aged 21 and older who have had a cesarean section to help us learn more about how our body tissues change as we age, and your participation could involve sharing some of your biological samples to support this important research.

What this research studies
This research focuses on collecting and analyzing biospecimens from individuals aged 21 and older, particularly those who have undergone abdominal delivery methods such as cesarean sections. The project aims to create detailed atlases of adipose tissue and other body tissues to better understand cellular aging and senescence. By utilizing advanced computing methodologies and cross-sectional analyses, the research seeks to uncover insights into age-related pathologies and the biology of aging. Patients may be involved in providing consent for their biological samples to be used in this important work.
Who could benefit from this research
Good fit: Ideal candidates for participation are adults aged 21 and older who have experienced abdominal delivery.
Not a fit: Patients who are younger than 21 or have not undergone abdominal delivery may not receive any benefit from this research.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this research could lead to improved understanding of aging processes and better health outcomes for individuals as they age.
How similar studies have performed: Other research has shown success in utilizing biospecimens to study aging and related conditions, indicating a promising approach.
