TL;DR: The evidence from RCTs to support the view that the application of mistletoe extracts has impact on survival or leads to an improved ability to fight cancer or to withstand anticancer treatments is weak and there is some evidence that mistle toe extracts may offer benefits on measures of QOL during chemotherapy for breast cancer, but these results need replication.

TL;DR: This work is presented at the I1 World Congress for Integrative Medicine & Health 2017 a global forum for exploring the future of comprehensive patient care in Washington, DC.

TL;DR: The effect has a defined concentration range and was not due to cytotoxicity, thus opening a new avenue to utilize native and synthetically optimized plant cyclotides for applications in immune-related disorders and as immunosuppressant peptides.

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that HCV infection sensitizes primary human hepatocytes and Huh7.5 hepatoma cells to TRAIL induced apoptosis in a dose- and time-dependent manner and that sensitization to TRAil is caspase-9 dependent and mediated in part via the mitochondrial pathway.

TL;DR: The findings provide a rationale for use of herbal Viola preparations in the therapy of disorders related to an overactive immune system and lead to identification of circular plant peptides, so called cyclotides, as bioactive components.
