Abstract:

People continue to recognize the important role of Chinese medicine in the treatment of diseases, and there is an urgent need to clarify the mechanism of Chinese medicine. Because of the multi-target and multi-component characteristics of traditional Chinese medicine, it is difficult to elaborate from a single perspective. As a high-quality animal model, Caenorhabditis elegans with the characteristics of small size and fast reproduction, has been widely used in traditional Chinese medicine activity experiments. In this article, Caenorhabditis elegans, as model organisms used to screen the active components of traditional Chinese medicine were reviewed.
