"First evidence at the cellular level that moderate amounts of Eggshell Membrane promote the expression of type III collagen gene, which is essential for the wound healing process"
Since April 2008, The University of Tokyo, a national university corporation, and Almado Inc., Ltd. have been conducting "Research on the effects of Eggshell Membrane on cell and body dynamics" through industry-academia collaboration. A paper on the results of this research has now been accepted by the American journal Cell & Tissue Research (published by Springer (USA)), a specialist journal on cells and tissues, and was published in the journal's online edition on Friday, May 20, 2011 (a print version is scheduled to be published in June 2011).
This paper was recognized for being the first to use cutting-edge science to elucidate part of the mechanism behind the "Eggshell Membrane effect," which has been used for wound healing and other purposes in Asian countries such as China and Japan as a form of "wisdom for life" for over 400 years.
