title: [Proteomics is the important technology platform of Chinese medicine pathogenesis research].
abstract: Pathogenesis is the core of the theoretical system in Chinese medicine (CM). Pathogenesis research is the breakthrough of the innovation and development of CM theories. Proteomics and CM pathogenesis were amazingly similar in aspects of integrity, dynamics, space, and complexity. It is of great significance using proteomics methods in studying CM pathogenesis essence and evolution laws, exploring the mechanisms of classical prescriptions or recipes with therapeutic efficacy, and promoting the modernization of CM.
