In keeping with the mission of the AATCVM to promote the generation and dissemination of scientific evidence for traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) and traditional Chinese veterinary medicine (TCVM), the Editors have summarized some of the recent research on the Channels and Collaterals (Jing Luo). This is a subject that has resulted in some very interesting scientific discoveries that the Editors predict will change our current understanding of anatomy, physiology, pathology and the treatment of disease in the future.
