Compuscript LtdFeb 13 2026 Announcing a new publication for Acta Materia Medica journal. Inflammation is a complex biological response essential for tissue repair in acute settings, yet chronic dysregulation contributes to progressive tissue damage and the pathogenesis of numerous diseases. Lonicera japonica Thunb. (honeysuckle), a traditional Chinese medicinal herb renowned for its “heat clearing and detoxifying” properties, exhibits
