Article Synopsis
- The study explores the effects of combining cordycepin, a compound from Cordyceps sinensis, with cisplatin, a chemotherapy drug, on head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC).
- Results indicate that this combination treatment significantly increases cell death and decreases survival rates in HNSCC cells compared to either treatment alone, with enhanced apoptotic effects observed.
- The cotreatment activates critical proteins involved in apoptosis, suggesting that it works through the caspase pathway and may engage MAPK signaling, leading to improved cancer cell death.
