Cancer belongs to a group of diseases characterized by uncontrolled cell growth. The search for new effective treatments for cancer has led to the discovery of different molecules from plants, bacteria, and fungi with pharmacological use. Plant endophytic fungi are large producers of metabolites with antitumor properties.

Background: Adipose and muscle tissue wasting outlines the cachectic process during tumor progression. The sympathetic nervous system (SNS) is known to promote tumor progression and research suggests that it might also contribute to cancer-associated cachexia (CAC) energetic expenditure through fat wasting.
Methods: We sympathectomized L5178Y-R tumor-bearing male BALB/c mice by intraperitoneally administering 6-hydroxydopamine to evaluate morphometric, inflammatory, and molecular indicators of CAC and tumor progression.
Entomopathogenic fungi have been considered potential biological control agents against the fall armyworm (J. E. Smith), the world's most important pest of maize.
