TCM-Mesh: The database and analytical system for network pharmacology analysis for TCM preparations

Abstract With the advancement of systems biology research, we have already seen great progress in pharmacology studies, especially in network pharmacology. Network pharmacology has been proven to be effective for establishing the “compounds-proteins/genes-diseases” network, and revealing the regulat...
