Ulex · Gorse / Whin
Ulex, also known as gorse, is a flowering plant traditionally associated with British and Irish folklore. However, there are no specific traditional uses documented for Ulex in any medical or folk practices. Scientific evidence related to Ulex is limited; one study noted choroidal thickening and large-caliber vessels coexisting with choriocapillaris degeneration and neovascularization in a case of multifocal geographic atrophy, while another identified cells resembling mammalian microfold cells in olive flounder intestines. Müller cells showed activation and structural changes around drusen, contributing to subretinal membrane formation in the same condition. The study also reported the first documented Bombay (Oh) phenotype in Iraq through a case involving severe hemolytic reaction after transfusion with group O blood. No major safety issues or drug interactions have been recorded for Ulex.

Ce que dit la science
- L'épaississement du choroïde et des vaisseaux de grande calibre coexistaient avec la dégénérescence de la choriocapillaire et la néovascularisation dans le cas d'une atrophie géographique multifocale.
- L'étude a identifié des cellules dans l'intestin du floundér d'olive qui ressemblent aux cellules microfolles mammifères, capables de captation d'antigènes et de transcytose.
- L'étude a identifié le phénotype sanguin Bombay (Oh) chez un homme de 31 ans originaire de Bagdad par des tests d'agglutination, confirmant la nécessité d'améliorer les protocoles de test.
- les cellules de Müller ont montré une activation et des changements structuraux autour des drusen, contribuant à la formation d'une membrane sous-rétinienne dans l'atrophie géographique multifocale.
