Understanding Acupuncture Based on ZHENG Classification from System Perspective

Understanding acupuncture with omics researches based on ZHENG classification. The omics researches of acupuncture based on ZHENG classification are the systematic research which are under the guidance of TCM theory and could bring the complexity of acupuncture effect and theory to light (a). By analyzing the connections among the ZHENG-related biological molecules in the omics studies of acupuncture, biology network models had been established for the further study of ZHENG. Studying the structure changes of biology network models would help us understand the action characteristics of acupoints and the molecular mechanism of their synergistic effect (b).
