Neuroprotective effects of melanins and melanin derivatives from Calvatia Craniiformis and Xylaria plebeja against Parkinsonian toxins

Scientific Reports
Fungal melanins have remarkable bioactivities, but their practical applications are limited, partly due to their hydrophobic nature. Melanin modification with amino acids was reported to improve their water solubility. This research aimed to extract, and
