Plain-language summary
A modern mechanistic review arguing that carnosine influences brain cell biology through several converging pathways — redox balance, metal handling, anti-inflammatory signaling, and energy metabolism — rather than a single dominant mechanism. The authors map these pathways onto Alzheimer's and Parkinson's pathophysiology.
Key takeaways
- ›Frames carnosine as a multi-target neuromodulator.
- ›Connects mechanism to specific neurodegenerative diseases.
- ›Useful synthesis for translational program design.
