Modus curandi cum balsamo is a short text, printed circa 1530 and written by an unknown author in Vulgar Latin from the Iberian peninsula. Its value stems first from the fact that it was one of the first medical texts printed in Portugal. But other aspects definitely reinforce this importance. As the title indicates, the text describes a balm that can cure very deep wounds. The prescription is ...

In the current study, we screened 7 clonal lines from single seed phenotypes of Lamiaceae family for the inhibition of alpha-amylase, alpha-glucosidase and angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitory activity. Water extracts of oregano had the highest alpha-glucosidase inhibition activity (93.7%), followed by chocolate mint (85.9%) and lemon balm (83.9%). Sage (78.4 %), and three different c...

Superresolution imaging techniques based on the precise localization of single molecules, such as photoactivated localization microscopy (PALM) and stochastic optical reconstruction microscopy (STORM), achieve high resolution by fitting images of single fluorescent molecules with a theoretical Gaussian to localize them with a precision on the order of tens of nanometers. PALM/STORM rely on phot...

background and objectives: sugar beet seed plants about five to six weeks after the formation of a seed stem, flowering started and within two weeks, this stage of plant growth will be completed. a significant negative correlation between the temperature received from flowering to seed maturity and the plant reproductive growth period with grain yield shows that the long plant reproductive grow...
