A new analysis of gene expression in blood samples identifies molecular signatures of DNA repair and cellular stress that may be detectable years before Parkinson’s motor symptoms appear. The study traces prodromal individuals and finds these blood-based signals rise early and fade as the disease becomes established.
For psychology-oriented readers, the work highlights how early biological processes precede visible symptoms, offering insight into risk markers and the potential for early intervention in neurodegenerative conditions.
