What molecular mechanisms mediate gallic acid's simultaneous inhibition of both apoptosis and necroptosis pathways?

OPEN

The study shows GA prevents both caspase-3 activation (apoptosis) and RIPK1/3 upregulation (necroptosis), but doesn't explain how one compound targets these distinct cell death pathways. Understanding this mechanism could reveal novel therapeutic targets for neurodegeneration.
