Melanin Synthesized by the Endophytic <i>Aureobasidium Pullulans</i> AKW: A Multifaceted Biomolecule with Antioxidant, Wound Healing, and Selective Anti-Cancer Activity
The selective activity of the current melanin towards cancer cells, its ability to induce apoptosis, and its relatively low toxicity towards normal cells warrant further investigation for its development as a novel therapeutic option.
