Researchers have identified a network of fluid-filled spaces surrounded by connective tissue that fills the spaces between our organs, surrounding and potentially protecting our insides throughout the ...

Get ready, because your grade school science knowledge is about to get a major update. This time, unlike with poor Pluto, scientists aren't removing something. They're adding an entire organ. That's ...

Using a new microscopic technique, a team of scientists has identified a previously unknown human anatomical feature. Dubbed the interstitium, the discovery reveals that what was previously thought to ...

In 2015, two doctors at New York City’s Mount Sinai-Beth Israel Medical Center were examining a patient’s bile duct when they noticed something curious: a network of fluid-filled cavities within the ...

It’s been more than 2,000 years since Hippocrates first came up with the foundation of modern medicine, so you’d be forgiven for thinking doctors have identified all the organs in the human body ...

News reports have suggested that this interstitium could represent a widespread organ in the body, whose connections with the lymphatic system might be involved in cancer metastasis. While researchers ...

Hyperoxia is closely linked with the development of chronic lung disease of prematurity (CLD), but the exact mechanisms whereby hyperoxia alters the lung architecture in the developing lung remain ...

To be or not to be an organ: That is the question. Researchers have detailed the structure and distribution of spaces in your body that they say represent a newfound human organ, and this “organ” just ...
