In a first, super microscope captures how acupuncture calms cell chaos

The News

A high-resolution microscope called RUSH3D-HR has enabled scientists to observe, for the first time, how electroacupuncture influences immune cell movement in living mice. The study tracked thousands of immune cells responding to inflammation in the spleen and showed changes when electroacupuncture was applied to a specific acupoint. This provides direct evidence of the biological mechanisms underlying acupuncture, potentially validating its therapeutic effects.
