About
Jong Han Bae is a leading investigator in the neurobiological mechanisms of acupuncture, with a primary focus on distinguishing the roles of neural versus connective tissues in mediating therapeutic effects. His most cited work, a 2019 study, provides critical experimental evidence that peripheral sensory nerve tissue—not connective tissue—is the essential initiator of acupuncture’s action. By systematically isolating tissue types, Bae demonstrated that sensory nerves are required for signal transduction, challenging earlier hypotheses that emphasized fascial or connective tissue involvement. This finding has significant implications for understanding how acupuncture modulates pain and organ function, and it has garnered 31 citations, reflecting its influence on both basic science and clinical research. Bae’s contributions help refine the neuroanatomical basis of acupuncture, offering a clearer mechanistic framework for its integration into evidence-based medicine. His work is essential reading for researchers exploring peripheral nerve stimulation, sensory biology, and the physiological underpinnings of traditional medicine.
