β-lapachone suppresses carcinogenesis of cervical cancer via interaction with AKT1

IntroductionCervical cancer is one of the most prevalent malignant tumors affecting women worldwide, and affected patients often face a poor prognosis due to its high drug resistance and recurrence rates. β-lapachone, a quinone compound originally extracted from natural plants, is an antitumor agent...
