Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Traditional medicine has a long history and has been used to maintain health as well as prevent, diagnose, ameliorate, or treat physical and mental illnesses. It is still widely practiced throughout the world, and the efficacy as well as mechanisms of various traditional treatments, such as acupuncture, moxibustion, and Ayurveda, have been supported by many scientific studies. As a result, a chapter on traditional medicine has been included in the International Statistical Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems (ICD-11).
This Special Issue aims to identify the molecular mechanisms of traditional medicine and covers topics ranging from demonstrating the efficacy of natural compounds to exploring biomolecules associated with the efficacy of traditional medicine treatments. This Special Issue will include all studies on biomolecules related to the effects of the mechanisms of traditional medicine using a variety of methodologies, including in silico, in vitro, and in vivo studies. We invite original research articles and reviews that highlight significant advances in these areas.
