In a previous study, we demonstrated a reduced expression of the p65 subunit of nuclear factor kappa B (NF B) in melano...

Stampfli A. 1992. Effects of mowing and removing litter on reproductive shoot modules of some plant species in abandoned meadows on Monte San Giorgio. Bot. Helv. 102: 85-92. Reproductive shoot modules have been counted in a permanent plot experiment on Monte San Giorgio (Southern Switzerland) since 1988. The 8 species presented here, including the dominant grass (Molinia arundinacea) and seven ...

76 ethanolic extracts of medicinal herbs from the Jordanian flora, belonging to 67 species and 34 families, were evaluated for their antiproliferative activity on a breast cancer cell line (MCF7). The cells were cultured in RPMI 1640 medium and incubated with the extracts for 72 hours. Sulphorhodamine B (SRB) assay was used to test cytotoxicity. From the tested crude extracts, Inula graveolens,...
