Researchers from Tel Aviv University, led by Professor Uri Ashery and PhD student Ofir Sade, in collaboration with three major Israeli hospitals, have developed a groundbreaking method to detect protein aggregation in cells. Protein aggregation is an early marker of Parkinson’s disease. With this innovative technology, it is now possible to diagnose Parkinson’s up to 20 years before the first motor symptoms appear, offering new hope for better treatment and even prevention. The findings of the research have been published in Frontiers in Molecular Neuroscience.
