Plant-derived nodule-specific cysteine-rich peptides as potent antifungal agents against Cryptococcus neoformans: mechanisms of action, chimeric peptide enhancement, and immunomodulatory effects

Plant-derived nodule-specific cysteine-rich peptides as potent antifungal agents against Cryptococcus neoformans: mechanisms of action, chimeric peptide enhancement, and immunomodulatory effects

The basidiomycetous yeast Cryptococcus neoformans is classified among the four critical fungal pathogens due to its capability of inducing life-threatening meningitis in immunocompromised individuals, particularly AIDS patients. The increasing prevalence of antifungal resistance and limitations of c...
