Reflecting the overall structural alterations in the tissue, changes in the flow of interstitial fluid in articular cartilage could be an indicator revealing the onset of osteoarthritis, according to ...

Now, MIT engineers have found that this "intercellular" fluid plays a major role in how tissues respond when squeezed, pressed, or physically deformed. Their findings could help scientists understand ...

These images use color markers—blue for nuclei, red for cell membranes, and green for fluid—to show that spaces between cells shrink as fluid moves out during tissue compression, from left to right ...

Water makes up around 60% of the human body. More than half of this water is inside the cells that make up organs and tissues, and much of the remaining water flows in the spaces between cells. MIT ...

Newly identified networks of interconnected, fluid-filled chambers that line tissues throughout the human body may qualify as a completely new organ, researchers report in a study published Tuesday in ...

With all that's known about human anatomy, you wouldn't expect doctors to discover a new body part in this day and age. But now, researchers say they've done just that: They've found a network of ...
