Researchers from the Hong Kong Baptist University reviewed the anti-inflammatory and anticancer properties of Astragalus membranaceus, a medicinal herb used extensively in traditional Chinese medicine (TCM). Their findings were published in The American Journal of Chinese Medicine.
The researchers posited that their findings could help experts develop novel target-specific and effective therapeutic agents with no major systemic side effects for a better treatment regimen against inflammatory diseases and cancers of the gut.
