Kyodo News reported on October 31st that a joint research team from Kyusju University of Technology and Tokyo Women's Medical University published results in the online edition of the British Journal of Science on Wednesday, successfully deciphering the hydrangea genome, which has been used in traditional Chinese medicine since ancient times and is also known as the "magic mushroom", confirming that it contains ingredients similar to those found to be effective in suppressing atherosclerosis. The team said it "hopes to help develop new medicines and healthy foods."
is a type of mushroom that resembles white petals. It is considered effective in preventing and improving diabetes and infectious diseases and is often used as a raw material for healthy foods.
team identified more than 13,000 genes in the process of deciphering the genome and found a gene group associated with the production of immune-activated components.
While deciphering the genome, the researchers analyzed the composition and found that it contained substances that had the same effect as the female hormone estrogen, which is thought to inhibit arteriosclerosis, and that the substance may not have the same effect as estrogen to activate cells such as breast cancer.
, a professor of molecular biology at Kyusju University of Technology in Japan, said: "In the future, we hope to work with pharmaceutical and food companies to advance relevant research." (Global Network)
