Gorse / Whin
Ulex
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.

科学怎么说
- 在多灶性地理萎缩病例中，脉络膜增厚和大口径血管与脉络膜毛细血管退化及新生血管共存。
- 研究在橄榄扁头鱼的肠中识别出了类似哺乳动物微皱褶细胞的细胞，能够摄取抗原并进行跨细胞转运。
- 研究在通过凝集试验识别出一位来自巴格达的31岁男子具有Bombay (Oh) 血型表型后，确认了需要改进检测程序。
- Müller 细胞显示出围绕 drusen 的激活和结构变化，这有助于多灶性地理萎缩下视网膜膜的形成。
