Acupuncture Point Microstructure Discovery
Acupuncture point LU11 (Shaoshang) has a confirmed anatomical composition. Researchers using fluorescence microscopy determined that the epidermal and underlying dermis layers of acupoint LU11 contain high densities of connexins, important intercellular communication structures. The researchers note that their findings support the principle that acupuncture points are “structurally defined entities.” Connexons are comprised of connexins and […]
