Research Progress on the Regulation of Differentiation and Function of Stem Cells by Traditional Chinese Medicine and Its Active Substances

Traditional Chinese medicine is a treasure of Chinese civilization, which has undergone thousands of years of precipitation and clinical verification. According to the theory of traditional Chinese medicine, ancient doctors used natural medicines and natural means to promote self-regulation and damage repair of the body. In recent years, as an important tool to repair body damage, stem cells have set off a research upsurge. With the continuous deepening of stem cell research and the continuous expansion of the fields involved, the potential correlation between traditional Chinese medicine and stem cells has attracted more and more domestic and foreign researchers to invest in research. This paper expounds regenerative medicine and stem cells, the advantages of Chinese medicine in regulating stem cells, and the opportunities and challenges faced by Chinese medicine and regenerative medicine, and reviews the current research trends and frontier trends in this field, in order to provide useful references for subsequent studies.
