Abstract

Traditional Chinese medicines (TCM) have many bioactive ingredients or parts, but there are still some limitations for medical field application, such as solubility and absorptivity in the human body. Nanotechnology is an effective way to enhance its bioavailability. How do we incorporate traditional Chinese medicines (TCM) with nanotechnology? This short commentary discusses the background of nanotechnology and its research progress with TCM as well as the future aspects.
