With the increasing value of translational medicine and medical engineering in the medical field, the collaborative innovation of acupuncture and engineering has become a trend. The mode and concept of the discipline of medicine-engineering junction can promote the development of translational research with acupuncture characteristics, including the rule of syndrome evolution, the application of meridians and acupoints, the exploration of treatment methods, the research of effect mechanism and the innovation of diagnosis and treatment. This paper put forward the future underlying research ideas, the existing questions and challenges for medicine-engineering junction, so as to provide the evidences for the clinical promotion of "combination of medicine and engineering" in the application of modern acupuncture and moxibustion.

Introduction: Available therapies for peripheral nerve injury (PNI) include surgical and non-surgical treatments. Surgical treatment includes neurorrhaphy, grafting (allografts and autografts) and tissue-engineered grafting (artificial nerve guide conduits), while non-surgical treatment methods include electrical stimulation, magnetic stimulation, laser phototherapy and administration of nerve growth factors. However, the treatments currently available to best manage the different PNI manifestations remain undetermined.

As an indispensable trace metal element in the organism, copper acts as a key catalytic cofactor in a wide range of biological processes. Copper homeostasis disorders can be caused by either copper excess or deficiency, and copper homeostasis disorders will affect the normal physiological functions of cells and induce cell death through a variety of mechanisms, such as the emerging cuproptosis model. The imbalance of copper homeostasis will lead to the occurrence of cancer, and copper is a key factor in cell signalling, so copper is involved in the development of cancer by promoting cell proliferation, angiogenesis and metastasis, etc.
