Core Tip

Core Tip: Recently, several studies on chronic atrophic gastritis (CAG) have demonstrated the significant therapeutic efficacy of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM). Based on recent advances, it is necessary to emphasize the importance of sex-related factors and the gastric microbiota detection in CAG research, as well as to further improve mechanism research with more sufficient experimental evidence in TCM studies.
