Core Tip	In their experimental article, Song et al presented results demonstrating the high efficacy of the traditional Chinese herbal mixture Chaihu-Shugan-San (CSS). They identified specific interactions between CSS components and key targets. Particular emphasis was placed on inhibition of the nuclear factor kappa B signaling pathway by CSS, accompanied by regression of inflammatory and structural changes in the gastric mucosa in N-methyl-N'-nitro-N-nitrosoguanidine-induced atrophic gastritis. Research using this traditional Chinese herbal mixture offers significant potential and a new strategy for the prevention and treatment of atrophic gastritis and gastric cancer.
