Declining or Waning
- Traditional Medicinal Approaches:
There has been a noticeable decrease in studies exclusively focused on traditional Chinese medicine compared to previous years. This may suggest a shift towards more modern, mechanistic studies that integrate traditional knowledge with contemporary scientific methods. - Basic Biochemical Techniques:
Research that primarily focuses on basic biochemical techniques without application to specific diseases or therapeutic contexts appears to be waning. There is a trend towards more applied research that connects biochemical findings with clinical relevance. - Animal Models in Basic Research:
The use of animal models for purely basic research has seen a decline, likely due to increasing emphasis on translational research and the need for more human-relevant models that can better predict clinical outcomes.
