Researchers from CNC-UC have identified new gut biomarkers that could enable early detection of Parkinson's disease. 👏 👏 Through collaboration with specialists in molecular biology and neurology, the team discovered inflammatory markers and the presence of alpha-synuclein in the gut, which appear long before the disease progresses to the brain. 🧠 This finding indicates that routine procedures, such as colonoscopies with biopsy, could be the key to identifying Parkinson's disease at an early stage, potentially slowing down its progression. This study opens the door to preventive strategies and new therapies that target Parkinson's disease in its early stages, offering hope of better outcomes for patients.
