Cordycepin inhibits protein synthesis and cell adhesion through effects on signal transduction.

TLDR
It is confirmed that cordycepin reduces the length of poly(A) tails, with some mRNAs being much more sensitive than others, and it is concluded that many of the reported biological effects of cordyCEpin are likely to be due to its effects on mTOR and AMPK signaling.
