New organ? That’s what some doctors are calling the latest medical breakthrough by NYU’s Langone School of Pathology research team. The team, led by Dr. Neil Theise, used a groundbreaking new form of microscopy called probe-based confocal laser endomicroscopy, or pCLE, to observe what they thought were walls of collagen beneath the skin. What the team found, though, has sent a ripple throughout the scientific and medical community.
Thiese and team found what they are referring to as the interstitium. This discovery consists of a highway running throughout the body, one that moves lymphatic and interstitial fluid, as well as water. The team wants to classify the interstitium as a new organ, although many in the medical community have voiced their dissent.
No matter how it is classified, this discovery may produce new breakthroughs in cancer research and explain why certain integrative medical practices contribute to healthy living.
Learn more about the interstitium with the infographic below, provided by Urban Monk Nutrition.
