Early signs of Parkinson’s can be identified in the blood (IMAGE)
Caption
A team led by researchers at Chalmers University of Technology has succeeded in identifying biomarkers for Parkinson's disease in its earliest stages – before extensive brain damage has occurred. The biological processes leave measurable traces in the blood, but only for a limited period. The discovery reveals a window of opportunity that could be crucial for future treatment, but also early diagnosis via blood tests.
