Doctors have started using a skin test called Syn-One to help diagnosis Parkinson’s disease. It can detect a protein key to Parkinson’s called alpha synuclein in a few sharp pokes.

A new blood test could reveal Parkinson’s diagnoses up to seven years before symptoms emerge, researchers say. Experts discuss what the test means for the future of neurogenerative diseases.

How can skin swabs help to spot Parkinson’s? Joy Milne, a “super smeller,” began noticing something strange when working as a nurse: she smelled something different on some of her patients.

But now, researchers have developed a new test that can diagnose Parkinson’s disease years before symptoms start.

New Blood Test for Predicting Parkinson’s Disease With A.I. Shows Promise, Study Suggests In preliminary research, scientists identified eight protein anomalies in the blood of patients with ...

Doctors have started using a skin test called Syn-One to help diagnosis Parkinson’s disease. It can detect a protein key to Parkinson’s called alpha synuclein in a few sharp pokes.

But a team of neuroscientists at Duke University hope to change that. They’ve developed a simple blood test that can precisely diagnose Parkinson’s disease sometimes before symptoms start.
