Plant Dehydrin-Derived, Lysine-Rich Peptides Show Both Antifungal Activity and Blood–Brain Barrier Penetration
The plant-based, dehydrin-derived peptides represent an underexplored source of antifungal agents. In this study, we investigated the antifungal activity, cellular association, and blood–brain barrier (BBB) permeability of a lysine-rich peptide (ERD-A) derived from the Arabidopsis thaliana dehydrin ERD14, as well as...
