A new organ in the human body?
That what scientists thought when they first discovered the interstitium, “an intricate internal web of living spaces. These fractal-like structures create a vast honeycomb network of fluid-filled openings within and between tissues and organs that spans the body and acts as a thoroughfare.” It turns out that the interstitium is not an organ but a body wide communication system.
“The interstitium may be the missing piece of the puzzle that helps explain the interconnectivity between every cell, tissue, organ, and hidden crevice in the body. The interstitium has the ability to communicate through the body across every scale, from the quantum electromagnetic level, all the way up to the cellular level.”
In a world where we are constantly discovering new and amazing things, how surprising it is to find hidden wonders in our own bodies.
