Positional Relationship Between the Orbicularis Oculi and Zygomaticus Complex Muscles by Ultrasonography: New Anatomical Insights for Crow's Feet Injection

Clinical Anatomy, Volume 39, Issue 6, Page 662-671, September 2026.
ABSTRACT The orbicularis oculi muscle (OOc) is strongly associated with facial aging as its contraction causes the formation of crow's feet. Botulinum neurotoxin (BoNT) injection is a representative treatment targeting muscle. The aim of this study was to demonstrate the anatomical relationship between the OOc and the zygomaticus complex muscles, and ...

CPTCs Drive Somatic‐Visceral Communication via the Wnt Axis in Somatic Mechanotherapy: A Single‐Cell Deep Learning Study

The FASEB Journal, Volume 40, Issue 15, 15 August 2026.
Using an interpretable deep learning framework (CARSS) applied to multi‐tissue single‐cell RNA sequencing, we identify CD34⁺PDGFRα⁺ telocytes (CPTCs) as the primary mechanosensors bridging somatic acupuncture stimulation and visceral repair. Mechanical force at acupoints activates an AP‐1/Hsp70 immediate‐early gene program in fascial CPTCs, triggering ...

Electroacupuncture Improves the Learning and Memory by Modulating Hippocampal Glucose Metabolism through IGF1/IGF1R Signaling in Alzheimer's Disease

Advanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 43, 3 August 2026.
Electroacupuncture (EA) ameliorates learning and memory function in 5×FAD mice by regulating the brain glucose metabolic network. This neuroprotective effect is closely related to enhancing neuronal energy utilization via the IGF1/IGF1R signaling pathway.

Shockwave Therapy or Acupoint Stimulation Combined With Physiotherapy for Spasticity and Motor Function in Post‐Stroke Recovery: A Randomized Controlled Trial

Brain and Behavior, Volume 16, Issue 8, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Background Stroke frequently causes spasticity and motor impairment, reducing independence. Non‐invasive treatments like radial extracorporeal shockwave therapy (ESWT) and acupoint‐based transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (Acu‐TENS) show potential, but direct comparisons with physiotherapy are limited.
