INTRODUCTION Successful endodontic treatment depends on elimination of the microorganisms through chemomechanical debridement. The aim of this in vitro study was to evaluate the effectiveness of Fragaria vesca (wild strawberry) extract (FVE) on the removal of smear layer (SL). METHODS AND MATERIALS In this analytical-observational study, 40 extracted mandibular and maxillary human teeth were ...

Strawberry fruits (Fragaria vesca) are valued for their sweet fruity flavor, juicy texture, and characteristic red color caused by anthocyanin pigments. To gain a deeper insight into the regulation of anthocyanin biosynthesis, we performed comparative metabolite profiling and transcriptome analyses of one red-fruited and two natural white-fruited strawberry varieties in two tissues and three ri...

Calcium is a universal messenger that is involved in the modulation of diverse developmental and adaptive processes in response to various stimuli. Calmodulin (CaM) and calmodulin-like (CML) proteins are major calcium sensors in all eukaryotes, and they have been extensively investigated for many years in plants and animals. However, little is known about CaMs and CMLs in woodland strawberry (F...

The aim of this study was to determine antioxidant activity (DPPH and phosphomolybdenum method), polyphenols content (total polyphenols, flavonoids, phenolic acids), mineral compounds composition (Cu, Zn, Mn, Fe, Cr, Ni, Co, Pb Cd) antimicrobial (with disc diffusion method) medicinal herbs traditionally used in the Slovak republic. tested plants belonged Primulaceae, Urticaceae, Grossulariaceae...
