Hence, maintaining these balances effectively delays aging and alleviates the symptoms of age-related diseases. Recent research indicates that targeting endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress and immune deficiency (IMD) signalling may play a positive role in maintaining homeostasis in aging intestinal stem cells (ISC) and microbial equilibrium.

Despite licorice's merits, no systematic scientometric study has yet been conducted to analyze licorice research trends over the past 25 years.
Aim Of The Study: We conducted this study with the aim to provide researchers with a comprehensive overview of research advances in the application of licorice as a TCM ingredient and to offer valuable insights to guide future endeavors in this research field.
Nuclear factor 1 X-type (Nfix) is a transcription factor related to mental and physical development. However, very few studies have reported the effects of Nfix on cartilage. This study aims to reveal the influence of Nfix on the proliferation and differentiation of chondrocytes, and to explore its potential action mechanism.

Deer antler is the only cartilage tissue that can completely regenerate each year. Insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-1) is one of the major active components in the deer antler that participate in regulating the rapid regeneration of deer antler cartilage.

Eucommia leaves are dry leaves of which have long been considered as a functional health food for the treatment of hypertension, hypercholesterolemia, fatty liver, and osteoporosis. With the recent development of Chinese medicine, Eucommia leaves are widely used for tonifying the kidneys and strengthening bone. However, the specific molecular mechanism of Eucommia leaves for strengthening bone remains largely unknown.

Deer antler has been used as a key ingredient in traditional Chinese medicine relating to kidney and bone health for centuries. The aim of this study was to dissect the molecular regulation of deer antler extract (DAE) on xiphoid cartilage (XC).

The aim of this study was to dissect the molecular targets and signaling pathways of Guzhi Zengsheng Zhitongwan based on the analysis of serum proteomics.
Methods: The Chinese herbs of GZZSZTW were immersed in 5 l distilled water and boiled with reflux extraction method.
Deer antler, as the only mammalian regenerative appendage, provides an optimal model to study regenerative medicine. Antler harvested from red deer or sika deer were mainly study objects used to disclose the mechanism underlying antler regeneration over past decades. A previous study used proteomic technology to reveal the signaling pathways of antler stem cell derived from red deer.

Unlike other vertebrates, the oviduct of oviduct significantly expands during prehibernation, in contrast to the breeding period. To explain this phenomenon at the molecular level, the protein expression profiles of oviduct during the breeding period and prehibernation were observed using isobaric tags for relative and absolute quantitation (iTRAQ) technique.
