Abstract This article hypothesizes that the Chinese medicine meridian system is a special channel network comprising of skin with abundant nerves and nociceptive receptors of various types and deeper connective tissues inside the body with the flowing interstitial fluid system. These meridian channels provide efficient migratory tracks mainly due to durotaxis also including chemotaxis for mast cells fibroblasts and other cells to migrate and carry out a number of physiological functions. Acupuncture acting on meridian channel causes cytoskeletal remodeling through mechanotransduction leading to regulation of gene expression and the subsequent production of related proteins. Also stimulation on cell surface can trigger Ca2 activities resulting in a cascade of intra- and inter-cellular signaling. Moreover nerve endings in the meridian channels interact with mast cells and induce the degranulation of these cells leading to the release of many specific biomolecules needed for homeostasis immune surveillance wound healing and tissue repair.
