In a new Parkinson's disease research breakthrough, scientists have developed a technique that allows them to detect a key signature of the disease in the brain and body cells of living people.
is a progressive brain disorder that causes unintended or uncontrollable movements, such as shaking, stiffness, and difficulty with balance and co-ordination. It can also lead to behavioural changes, sleep problems, depression, memory loss and fatigue.on April 12.
Until now, scientists have only been able to confirm the presence of abnormal alpha-synuclein clumps in deceased patients through postmortem analysis. According to the study, being able to detect this Parkinson's biomarker in live patients could allow specialists to diagnose the disease and begin interventions earlier than ever. The researchers said it could potentially have the added benefit of keeping some newly diagnosed patients from ever advancing to full-blown symptoms.
The biomarker breakthrough was achieved by an international coalition of scientists as part of a large clinical study funded by the Michael J. Fox Foundation called the Parkinson’s Progression Markers Initiative .
