Medicinal plants constitute the primary pharmacological source of Chinese medicine and their scientific interpretation is crucial for quality standardization and clinical guidance. Paradoxically, the contemporary evaluation model primarily adopts reductionism, inconsistent with the system-oriented holistic view of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM). In this review, the commonality between the organismic electromagnetic radiation field and the “qi” of TCM was deeply dissected from five levels. This reveals the fundamental consistency between the biophoton coherence and the holism of TCM. The scientific connotation of Chinese medicinal properties may be the ability and metric to regulate quantum superposition states of biological electromagnetic fields. Therefore, employing biophoton emission (BE)-based methods to investigate the medicinal properties of medicinal plants may provide scientific support that aligns more closely with holism. BE technology has shown great potential in quantifying medicinal characteristic parameters, including the quantization of Chinese medicinal properties, the identification of various processed products, and quality control. Especially in the real-time quality monitoring during the cultivation process of medicinal plants, BE characteristics can comprehensively reflect the natural and efficacious properties. This interdisciplinary thinking will help to establish a novel theoretical framework and methodological system to advance the modernization and development of medicinal plants.
Biophoton signal transmission and processing in the brain
The transmission and processing of neural information in the nervous system plays a key role in neural functions. It is well accepted that neural communication is mediated by bioelectricity and chemical molecules via the processes called bioelectrical and chemical transmission, respectively. Indeed, the traditional theories seem to give valuable explanations for the basic functions of the nervous system, but difficult to construct general accepted concepts or principles to provide reasonable explanations of higher brain functions and mental activities, such as perception, learning and memory, emotion and consciousness. Therefore, many unanswered questions and debates over the neural encoding and mechanisms of neuronal networks remain. Cell to cell communication by biophotons, also called ultra-weak photon emissions, has been demonstrated in several plants, bacteria and certain animal cells. Recently, both experimental evidence and theoretical speculation have suggested that biophotons may play a potential role in neural signal transmission and processing, contributing to the understanding of the high functions of nervous system. In this paper, we review the relevant experimental findings and discuss the possible underlying mechanisms of biophoton signal transmission and processing in the nervous system.

Cytochrome P450 Enzyme Inhibition and Herb-Drug Interaction Potential of Medicinal Plant Extracts Used for Management of Diabetes in Nigeria
The use of herbal medicines is common in Africa, and patients often use a combination of herbs and drugs. Concurrent herbal and pharmaceuticals treatments can cause adverse effects through herb-drug interactions (HDI). This study evaluated the potential risk of HDI for five medicinal plants, Vernonia amygdalina, Ocimum gratissimum, Moringa oleifera, Azadirachta indica, and Picralima nitida, using in vitro assays. Patients with diabetes and some other disease conditions commonly use these medicinal plants in Nigeria, and little is known regarding their potential for drug interaction, despite their enormous use.

A model qualification method for mechanistic physiological QSP models to support model‐informed drug development
Mechanistic physiological modeling is a scientific method that combines available data with scientific knowledge and engineering approaches to facilitate better understanding of biological systems, improve decision‐making, reduce risk, and increase efficiency in drug discovery and development. It is a type of quantitative systems pharmacology (QSP) approach that places drug‐specific properties in the context of disease biology. This tutorial provides a broadly applicable model qualification method (MQM) to ensure that mechanistic physiological models are fit for their intended purposes.
