Investigations on the morpho-anatomy and histochemistry of the European mistletoe: Viscum album L. subsp. album.

Viscum album L. (Santalaceae) is an important medicinal plant traditionally used to treat several diseases, including cancer therapy. This paper provides detailed morpho-anatomical characteristics of the leaves, stems and berries of Viscum album subsp.

mother tinctures: Harvest conditions and host trees influence the plant metabolome and the glycolytic pathway of breast cancer cells.

is a semi-parasitic plant used for over one hundred years in complementary cancer therapy. The main commercial drugs used in cancer patients' treatment are derived from the aqueous extracts, whose cytotoxic potential is mostly attributed to the aqueous soluble antitumoral metabolites. On the counterpart, ethanol solvents must be used to obtain mother tinctures.

Metabolomics by UHPLC-Q-TOF Reveals Host Tree-Dependent Phytochemical Variation in L.

L., commonly known as European mistletoe, is a hemi-parasitic plant of the Santalaceae family. The in vitro and in vivo effects of differ, according to its host tree.

Mitochondrial Biomarkers in Patients with ST-Elevation Myocardial Infarction and Their Potential Prognostic Implications: A Prospective Observational Study.

Background: Mitochondrial biomarkers have been investigated in different critical settings, including ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI). Whether they provide prognostic information in STEMI, complementary to troponins, has not been fully elucidated. We prospectively explored the in-hospital and long-term prognostic implications of cytochrome c and cell-free mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) in STEMI patients undergoing primary percutaneous coronary intervention.
