Abstract
Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is a kind of worldwide refractory disease with a high recurrence rate. However, traditional Chinese medicine for IBD is associated with a better therapeutic effect and a lower recurrence rate, although the mechanism is still unclear. It is known that the Notch signaling pathway interacts with mTOR and regulates the body's immune level and cell energy, which is closely related with morbidity of IBD. These hint that axis of immune response and energy metabolism mediated by the Notch/mTOR signaling pathway is possibly a pivotal mechanism for traditional Chinese medicine to prevent IBD.
