Guest guest Posted April 1, 2002 Report Share Posted April 1, 2002 Qi vacuity. How would this concept translate in western scientific terms as it relates to signal transduction pathways in the cell? Is there a Chinese character for NF-kappaB? Phosphorylation of NF-kappaB? NF-kappaB and phosphorylation are direct elements of TNF-alpha-induced inflammation signals inside the cell. Phosphorylation can protect a gene from degredation, whether or not it is a beneficial gene. Voltage-gated calcium channels and acupuncture should prove to be a fascinating area for research, with new ideas, concepts, and morphologies in language. When these types of pathways have been better defined, it seems that there will be opportunity to integrate and translate TCM concepts both ways. Carl Jung has shown that the Chinese character for both danger and opportunity are the same. Despite the fact that translators can be such barbarians, the genetic frontier looms. See Pubmed for the latest studies on NF-kappaB inhibition in cancer therapy using Chinese(Korean) bittersweet. The latest article may be in the Journal of Natural Products.
