The scientists who discovered a set of specialized receptors for temperature and pressure have just won the 2021 Nobel Prize in Physiology and Medicine.
These receptors, TRPV1 and TRPV8 in particular, are shown to be central to mediating acupuncture's effects at the cellular level. The more modern science learns about how the body works, the more it learns about how acupuncture works.
