Title A Supersmeller Can Detect the Scent of Parkinson’s, Leading to an Experimental Test for the Illness Media name/outlet Scientific American Media type Web Country/Territory United States Date 11/10/22 Description A Scottish woman named Joy Milne made headlines in 2015 for an unusual talent: her ability to sniff out people with Parkinson’s disease, a progressive neurodegenerative illness that is estimated to affect about 10 million people worldwide. Since then, scientists in the U.K. have been working with Milne to pinpoint the molecules that give Parkinson’s its distinct olfactory signature. They have now zeroed in on a set of molecules specific to the disease—and created a simple skin-swab-based test to detect them.
