Smelling Parkinson's: From discovery to skin swab test
A retired nurse who noticed that people with Parkinson's had a distinct odor inspired Manchester scientists to explore changes in molecules on the skin's surface. Using a simple skin swab, they can detect about 15,000 molecular features, approximately 10% of which consistently differ in abundance be
