Electroacupuncture suppresses NK cell infiltration and activation in the ischemic mouse brain through STAT3 inhibition

Electroacupuncture (EA) at Shuigou (GV26) and Baihui (GV20) has shown therapeutic benefits for stroke patients. Given that natural killer (NK) cell infiltration into the brain significantly contributes to the exacerbation of cerebral ischemic injury, this study investigated the impact of EA at Shuigou (GV26) and Baihui (GV20) on post-ischemic brain infiltration and activation of NK cells.
