Pinprick blood test could detect disease 10 years before symptoms appear, study finds
Pinprick blood test could detect disease 10 years before symptoms appear, study finds
Molecular profiles will give detailed snapshot of person’s physiology and predict diseases from diabetes to cancer and dementia
The world’s largest study into key substances in the bloodstream has paved the way for a swathe of pinprick tests that can detect early signs of disease more than a decade before symptoms appear, researchers say.
Work on the tests follows the completion of a project by the UK Biobank to measure the levels of nearly 250 different proteins, sugars, fats and other compounds in blood collected from half a million volunteers. Continue reading...

💨 Data from over 300,000 UK Biobank participants show that air pollution can raise older people’s risk of a condition causing unbearably itchy skin.
Almost 16% of late-life eczema cases could be prevented by cutting air pollution in the worst-affected areas researchers estimate.
