Potential of Ramalin and Its Derivatives for the Treatment of Alzheimer’s Disease
The pathogenesis of Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is still unclear, and presently there is no cure for the disease that can be used for its treatment or to stop its progression. Here, we investigated the therapeutic potential of ramalin (isolated from the Antarctic lichen, <i>Ramalina terebrata<...
