Core Tip	The scientific evidence for the effectiveness of traditional Chinese herbal medicine has always been questioned. Huang et al successfully identified the molecular mechanism involved in the anticancer effect of Calculus bovis. They showed that this herbal medicine controls the polarization of tumor-associated macrophages by regulating Wnt signaling. The scientific verification of other traditional medicines is awaited.
