Biological activity of mistletoe: in vitro and in vivo studies and mechanisms of action

In vitro and in vivo studies on the pharmacological activity of Viscum species are summarized and the possible mechanisms of action of this herb are proposed, which might include many signalling pathways.

Proteome analysis of leaf, stem and callus in Viscum album and identification of lectins and viscotoxins with bioactive properties

In conclusion, mistletoe calluses were shown to possess a unique protein biosynthetic profile compared to donor plant tissues, towards a novel anticancer and immune system modulation pipeline.

Cytostatic Activity of Viscum album L. Extract Processed by Microfiltration and Ultrafiltration

In vitro investigation of the HeLa cancerous cells interaction with biopreparations highlighted and quantified their cytostatic and cytotoxic impact, expressed by the inhibition of protein synthesis and cellular proliferation, by cell viability decrease and by the inhibited of cell cultures development.
