- 1Body odors may reveal disease, scientists say●Molecules that waft from breath, skin and urine can hold clues to Parkinson’s, cancer and other ills. Scientists hope to
Scientists are exploring whether molecules released in breath, skin and urine can serve as early indicators of Parkinson's disease, cancer and other illnesses. The research aims to turn these chemical signatures into non-invasive diagnostic tests, potentially detecting serious conditions without blood draws or biopsies. The approach builds on observations that some diseases alter a person's scent, and researchers are now working to harness those markers for clinical use.
- 2New Blood and Urine Tests Could Trace Chronic Inflammation Sources●Blood and Urine Test Approach May Trace Sources of Chronic Inflammation
Researchers have developed a blood and urine testing approach that may identify the sources of chronic inflammation in the body. The method could help doctors pinpoint what is driving long-term inflammatory conditions, which are linked to diseases such as diabetes, heart disease and cancer. Details of how the test works and its accuracy have not yet been widely reported.
