Association Between Acupuncture’s Neuroprotective Effects and Integrin Alpha 7
: Collectively, the histological preservation of dopaminergic neurons following LR3/GB34 acupuncture in the PD mouse model appears to be linked to ITGA7 upregulation. Furthermore, our in vitro findings implicate ITGA7 in the regulation of apoptosis-related signaling cascades, supporting its potential role in mitigating α-synuclein pathology.
