Integrative research on the mechanisms of acupuncture mechanics
and interdisciplinary innovation (2025 China)
This paper delves into the entire mechanical process of acupuncture, from skin penetration to point stimulation, and analyzes tissue responses to provide a solid theoretical foundation for the scientific study of acupuncture.
The Mechanism of Acupuncture Regulating Autophagy:
Progress and Prospect (2025 China)
https:/pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/40001566//
Regulating autophagy is one of the mechanisms
through which acupuncture exerts its therapeutic effects.
The regulatory effect of acupuncture on autophagy capacity is bidirectional:
it inhibits the abnormal activation of autophagy to prevent exacerbation of injury
and reduce apoptosis, while also activating or enhancing autophagy
to promote the elimination of inflammation and reduce oxidative stress.
This paper systematically reviews the research progress on the use of acupuncture
for treating various diseases via the autophagy pathway.
Apoptosis and autophagy are two important cellular processes
which control cell survival or death,
and also considered as a balanced response to pathogens and
other immune stimuli that play an important role in maintaining physiologic homeostasis.
There are few effective and safe ways to regulate cell apoptosis and autophagy
in clinical practice right now.
