Carnosine (β-Alanyl-L-Histidine) is a naturally occurring endogenous dipeptide and over-the-counter dietary supplement with a multimodal mechanism of action. The use of carnosine and its analogues in is as diverse as its mode of action and application. Carnosine’s ready availability and protective properties make it an interesting candidate for clinical use. We have now examined the mode of use in registered clinical studies....

The morphometric analysis of lung structure using the principles of stereology has emerged as a powerful tool to describe the structural changes in lung architecture that accompany the development of lung disease that is experimentally modelled in adult mice. These stereological principles are now being applied to the study of the evolution of the lung architecture over the course of prenatal and postnatal lung development in...
