    TLDR New technologies in acupuncture and biosensors show promise for better medical treatments and healing.
    The document "Recommended Articles" from the Journal of Acupuncture and Meridian Studies highlighted several notable studies. One study developed an electrochemical biosensor using gold and palladium nanoparticles for detecting levodopa and uric acid, showing improved performance in biological samples. Another study introduced hierarchical micro/nano-porous acupuncture needles, which enhanced therapeutic effects and reduced pain in rats. A third study reported on a microneedle pH sensor for real-time detection in cerebrospinal fluid and bladder, demonstrating accuracy and stability. Additionally, a review discussed microneedles as a platform for gene delivery, emphasizing their potential in overcoming skin barriers for DNA therapeutics. Lastly, a study on electrospun scaffolds pre-seeded with fibroblasts showed improved skin wound healing and hair follicle regeneration in rats.
