Abstract excerpt
Colorectal cancer (CRC) remains a leading cause of cancer-related mortality, largely due to metastasis and therapeutic resistance. Beauvericin, a cyclohexadepsipeptide mycotoxin produced by Beauveria and Cordyceps species, has demonstrated anticancer activity in multiple malignancies; however, its mechanistic effects in CRC have not been fully defined. In this study, we investigated the cellular and molecular...
