Core Tip
Core Tip: This commentary discusses a recent hepatic transcriptomic and metabolomic study that elucidates the regulatory effects of Jiangtang Tiaozhi formula on glycolipid metabolism. We emphasize key strengths of the multi-omics strategy and highlight critical issues that warrant further investigation, including dose-response relationships, cellular resolution, mechanistic causality, active constituent identification, and long-term safety evaluation. By integrating systems biology and translational perspectives, this work underscores the potential of traditional Chinese medicine-based therapies to advance precision medicine approaches for metabolic disorders.
