[4] Bock PR, Friedel WE, Hanisch J, Karasmann M, Schneider B: Efficacy and safety of long-term complementary treatment with standardized European mistletoe extract (Viscum album L.) in addition to the conventional adjuvant oncologic therapy in patients with primary nonmetastasized mammary carcinoma. Results of a multi-center, comparative, epidemiological cohort study in Germany and Switzerland....

Natural N-glycosylation involves a β-anomeric linkage connecting the sugar to one asparagine residue of the protein. We herein report NMR- and modelling-based data on glycomimetics containing α-glycosidic linkages. The bioactivity of α-Gal-containing glycopeptides has been documented by revealing binding to two plant lectins, i.e. a potent β-trefoil toxin (Viscum album agglutinin) and β-sandwic...

The Brodatz Album has become the de facto standard for evaluating texture algorithms, with hundreds of studies having been applied to small sets of its images. This paper compares two powerful recognition algorithms , principal components analysis and multiscale autoregressive models, by evaluating them on a 999-image database derived from the entire Brodatz Album. The variety of homogeneous an...

Gorham’s disease, also known as massive osteolysis, is characterized by unregulated proliferation of lymphatic or vascular capillaries within bone, resulting in destruction and replacement with angiomatous tissue. This disease can lead to chylothorax that can be lethal. Viscum album extract from European mistletoe is a complementary anti-cancer drug which is commonly prescribed in many European...

1. The haemagglutinating and toxic lectin from Viscum album L. (mistletoe) inhibits protein synthesis in a lysate of rabbit reticulocytes, with an ID50 (concentration giving 50% inhibition) of 2.6 microgram/ml. This effect is enhanced (ID50 0.21 microgram/ml) if the lectin is reduced with 2-mercaptoethanol. 2. The lectin inhibits protein synthesis also in BL8L cells in culture. Inhibition occur...
