  • Promising Platform for the Pre-Symptomatic Detection of Parkinson’s Disease

    Diagnostics World | Researchers in Israel recently showcased a novel platform that can be used in the future for the early diagnosis of Parkinson’s disease (PD) by quantifying the distribution of alpha-synuclein (α-syn) in skin biopsies. A proof-of-concept study in humans, supported in part by the Michael J. Fox Foundation, suggests the single-molecule-level detection method might enable the disease to be detected up to 20 years before the first motor symptoms appear.
