Newly Discovered Cell: Telosites and Their Connection to Acupuncture
Scientists have discovered telosites, a type of cell found in the interstitium. The role of telosites is still not fully understood, but during a study on rabbits receiving acupuncture, it was observed that their telosites became highly activated and exhibited increased communication. This finding has sparked excitement among researchers in China. While the discovery is significant, more research is needed to fully understand the function and origins of telosites.

Despite the unknowns, the discovery offers potential insights into the body's healing mechanisms.
