Researchers at the University of Nottingham have uncovered how cordycepin, a compound derived from the caterpillar fungus Cordyceps militaris, may help disrupt cancer cell growth by targeting ...
The research, published in FEBS Letters, discovered that Cordycepin works by disrupting growth signals in cancer cells without damaging healthy tissues. This orange fungus has long been used in ...
New research into a chemical produced by a caterpillar fungus that has shown promise as a possible cancer treatment has revealed how it interacts with genes to interrupt cell growth signals.
They found the chemical, cordycepin, can disrupt cell growth signals, a discovery that can lead to new cancer drugs less damaging to healthy tissues. The chemical is produced by the orange fungus ...
