Cordycepin alleviates diabetes mellitus-associated hepatic fibrosis by inhibiting SOX9-mediated Wnt/β-catenin signal axis.

Diabetes mellitus can induce liver injury and easily progress to liver fibrosis. However, there is still a lack of effective treatments for diabetes-induced hepatic fibrosis. Cordycepin (COR), a natural nucleoside derived from Cordyceps militaris, has demonstrated remarkable efficacy in treating metabolic diseases and providing hepatoprotective effects.

Triptolide induced spermatogenesis dysfunction via ferroptosis activation by promoting K63-linked GPX4 polyubiquitination in spermatocytes.

Triptolide (TP) is a major bioactive compound derived from Tripterygium wilfordii Hook. F. (TwHF) known for its medicinal properties, but it also exhibits potential toxic effects.
